Press Dippings and Backgrounds FolderJ 4B I Sun Sentinel SunSentinel.com Tuesday, November 17, 2013 PN -gove Open rnment advocates set for fight BY STEVEN LEMONGELLO Staff writer Advocates of open gov- ernment met in Orlando on Monday to discuss ways to fight what they describe as a growing trend toward government secrecy in Florida. The Florida Sunshine Coalition, part of the Mori - da First Amendment Foundation of Tallahassee, called for increased co- operation among news-' papers, TV stations, non- profit groups, academic in- stitutions and law firms to battle a rise in efforts to thwart the state's long tra- dition ofopen government. And it all may come to- gether in time for a pro- posed "Sunshine Day" in Tallahassee on Jan. 26. "I've been doing this now for 26 years, and I've never seen a more hostile environment towards open government," said Sandra Chance, executive director of the Brechner Center for Freedom of in- formation at the University of Florida. Barbara Petersen, presi- dent of the First Amend- ment Foundation, said that government agencies are increasingly resorting to legal but questionable tac- tics such as responding to requests in the order they were received — regardless of how long each would take — or charging exorbi- tant fees in advance. "Many agencies, both w state and local, are skating right along the edge of the law, just this side of legal- ity," Petersen said. "It's an adversarial attitude and it's getting worse." The Center for Public Integrity also graded Flori- da a "D -"for transparency and accountability. Among the recommen- dations made at the sum- mit, held at the Orlando Sentinel: ■ Establish a position to investigate violations with- in the statewide prosecu- tor's office. ■ Create a litigation de- fense fund. ■ Require that court costs for open records violations come out of government officials' salaries or pen- sion, not taxpayer fund n O ^ 0 0 � G- �• n .�. w aq .. � ro q � p�' p �'• y � �pn O � � .� � fn � a _ n .� � � �� ���. a. ��� •dam y F ".Oo C.) b r..f n n w p N P� rc y n 5 'n 4Y p n, G Pj e: y �y5 N yto EL`G T yy p G on op n 6� ryC p zw o y O b by ^ n] W� Oa 6 zm G c s °r8ft N y O y 0 n �.

By Daphne Duret Palm Beach Post Staff Writer A Palm Beach County ju- ry Friday did not reach a ver- dict in the lawsuit of a couple claiming several officials in the town of Jupiter Inlet Col- ony stymied their efforts to move back into their dream home for six years because of nasty town politics and re- taliation for their exposure of corruption. Marilyn and Richard Bar- field had been issued more than 800 code violations and more than $100,000 in fines by the time they fi- nally finished their home in 2011, more than six years af- ter it was destroyed by the 2004 hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. Their attorney, Steven Katzman, told jurors in his closing arguments Friday it was all part of an effort by the town's former mayor, police chief and other town officials to thwart them from finish- ing their house because Mar- ilyn Barfield had questioned town practices when she was a commissioner. "What should have been welcomed and applaud- ed destroyed these people," Katzman said.

All rights reserved. Posting or forwarding this material without permission is prohibited. You can view the Terms of Use on our website. THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, June 21, 2016.......... A federal appeals court Tuesday rejected a class-action lawsuit filed by a Palm Beach County town that alleges it has been inundated with public -records requests as part of scheme to generate attorneys' fees and legal settlements. The town of Gulf Stream and a contractor, Wantman Group, Inc., contended that defendants in the case were involved in racketeering by using Florida's public -records law to "extort" money from local governments, according to court documents. The issue is rooted in part of the law that allows people to collect attorneys' fees if they successfully sue government agencies for failing to properly provide public records. A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals appeared to express sympathy Tuesday for the small Palm Beach County town but upheld a lower court judge's decision dismissing the case, which was brought under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, better known as RICO. "The allegations in the plaintiffs' complaint paint a frustrating picture," said the 13 -page opinion, written by appeals -court Judge Charles Wilson and joined by judges Robin Rosenbaum and Jill Pryor. "Accepting those allegations as true, the defendants have engaged in a concerted effort to capitalize on the relatively unfettered access to public records Florida has granted its citizens by bombarding small towns and municipalities with public records requests to which they cannot respond adequately. As distasteful as this conduct may be, the allegations do not support a RICO claim under our precedent." The ruling came after a debate during this year's legislative session about a proposal to give judges discretion in deciding whether to award attorneys' fees in public -records case. The Florida League of Cities and local communities, including Gulf Stream, pushed for the https:Hus-mg5.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.partner--sbc&.rand=c8sldt8uamrg9 6/22/2016 Print Page 2 of 2 change because of what they argued was a "cottage industry" of people filing public -records lawsuits to try to collect attorneys' fees. But the proposed change met with fierce opposition from open -government advocates, who said it would weaken the state's Sunshine Law because people would not be willing to take the financial risk of filing public -records lawsuits if they are not assured of recouping legal fees when they win. The proposed change ultimately failed to pass. Gulf Stream and the Wantman Group filed the class-action lawsuit last year and sought to include other government agencies. Defendants in the case were Martin O'Boyle, William F. Ring, Christopher O'Hare, Jonathan R. O'Boyle, Denise DeMartini, and associated companies, according to court documents. The Wantman Group was a party because of a dispute about a public -records request it received as a government contractor. The town alleged that the defendants had submitted more than 2,000 public -records requests and filed lawsuits over the requests, according to documents filed in the appeal. It also alleged that the requests and lawsuits were used as a way to spur settlements. But in a brief filed in November, attorneys for several of the defendants said Gulf Stream and the contractor had filed the racketeering case "to create a collateral attack on the records requestors for exercising their lawful rights." "The records requestors have an absolute right to make public records requests and lawsuits," the brief said. "Their motive for requesting those documents is irrelevant and cannot constitute extortion.... The public records act places no limitation on how many requests may be made. This lawsuit impermissibly seeks to limit the records requestors' exercise of the rights granted to the records requestors by the Florida Legislature and not stop some other unlawful acts." --END-- 6/21/2016 © 2016 The News Service of Florida.

O'Boyle is best known for inundating the Palm Beach State Attorney's office with more than 1,300 public records requests, and for suing the wealthy town of Gulf Stream, where he lives, after filing 1,200 public records requests. Citizens Awareness Foundation's board is comprised of employees of the O'Boyle Law Firm and the Commerce Group. According to an email from one board member, the foundation had a quota to refer a minimum of 25 lawsuits per week to the law firm. The foundation has threatened so many engineers with legal action that the Florida Engineering Society sent a warning to members. "It is debatable whether they are truly seeking records or just attempting to obtain legal fees for a violation of this requirement," Craig Vern, the organization's general counsel, said in the May 23 memo. The road -building industry in Florida also has been swamped with public records requests and lawsuits from Citizens Awareness Foundation. "It's a sad game of'gotcha,' the only purpose of which is to generate an attorney fee claim rather than obtain any actual public records," said Bob Burleson, president of the Florida Transportation Builders' Association. State Sen. Wilton Simpson, R- Trilby, has received similar complaints, and has begun drafting legislation to better define the p>ub'lic records law. In October, the town commission of Gulf Stream, in Palm Beach County, voted unanimously to hire an outside lawyer to pursue a federal racketeering case against O'Boyle. Representatives of Citizens Awareness Foundation and the O'Boyle Law Firm referred questions to Fort Lauderdale lawyer Mitchell W. Berger. "We are new to this process and undertaking an investigation of the facts and circumstances which have resulted in the current controversy," Berger said. "We will not litigate this matter in the press on a question -by -question basis and will leave our responses to be filed in the appropriate proceedings where we are sure justice will be done and our clients will be exonerated in the process." Lawsuit Quota The foundation and the law firm are exploiting an April 2013 amendment to state law that requires private companies holding public records to make them available. After the 2013 amendment passed, Martin O'Boyle contacted Joel Chandler, a well-known open government activist, about starting Citizens Awareness Foundation. Chandler, who lives in Lakeland, had worked as a volunteer his entire career. O'Boyle offered him a $120,000 annual salary, a company car and health insurance. "I went from being completely broke to getting paid $10,000 a month," Chandler said. "It was a very cool gig." The foundation was incorporated on Jan. 27. The O'Boyle Law Firm opened on Feb. 10. They both listed the same address in Deerfield Beach on incorporation records. Martin O'Boyle's son, Pennsylvania lawyer Jonathan O'Boyle, was listed as the law firm's director. Jonathan O'Boyle is not licensed to practice law in Florida, and records show he may have been acting as the firm's full-time managing director and supervising other lawyers. Under Florida Bar rules, lawyers supervising cases must be licensed in the state. "He was in the office just about every day," Chandler said. "I was in the room multiple times when Jonathan was directing other attorneys in their work and no one was supervising Jonathan." In emails FCIR reviewed, Jonathan O'Boyle wrote about assigning himself a case. Another lawyer described O'Boyle directing settlement negotiations in a separate case. http://fcir.org/2014/ll/09/in-lawsuits-statewide-questions-of-profits-and-public-records/ 11/10/2014 In Lawsuits Statewide, Questions of Profits and Public Records I Florida Center for Invest...

Lawsuit Quota The foundation and the law firm are exploiting an April 2013 amendment to state law that requires private companies holding public records to make them available. After the 2013 amendment passed, Martin O'Boyle contacted Joel Chandler, a well-known open government activist, about starting Citizens Awareness Foundation. Chandler, who lives in Lakeland, had worked as a volunteer his entire career. O'Boyle offered him a $120,000 annual salary, a company car and health insurance. "I went from being completely broke to getting paid $10,000 a month," Chandler said. "It was a very cool gig." The foundation was incorporated on Jan. 27. The O'Boyle Law Firm opened on Feb. 10. They both listed the same address in Deerfield Beach on incorporation records. Martin O'Boyle's son, Pennsylvania lawyer Jonathan O'Boyle, was listed as the law firm's director. Jonathan O'Boyle is not licensed to practice law in Florida, and records show he may have been acting as the firm's full-time managing director and supervising other lawyers. Under Florida Bar rules, lawyers supervising cases must be licensed in the state. "He was in the office just about every day," Chandler said. "I was in the room multiple times when Jonathan was directing other attorneys in their work and no one was supervising Jonathan." In emails FCIR reviewed, Jonathan O'Boyle wrote about assigning himself a case. Another lawyer described O'Boyle directing settlement negotiations in a separate case. http://fcir.org/2014/11/09/in-lawsuits-statewide-questions-of-profits-and-public-records/ 11/10/2014 In Lawsuits Statewide, Questions of Profits and Public Records I Florida Center for Invest... Page 3 of 4 When setting up the foundation, Chandler said he talked with the O'Boyles about the need to avoid conflicts of interest. He was worried because all of the foundation's board members either worked for Martin O'Boyle's real estate company or the law firm. "That was a sticking point, whether I could only refer cases to his son's law firm," Chandler said. "I didn't want to be involved in something where we file lawsuits just to file lawsuits. I was assured I would have sole discretion about who to litigate and which law firm to use." That never happened, he said. By April, Citizens Awareness Foundation board member Denise DeMartini, who works for the Commerce Group, was demanding more lawsuits. "I am in the law meeting now and have been told that you have only provided eight new cases for this week. We were expecting a minimum of 25 a week," she emailed Chandler on April 28. The law meeting she referred to was the O'Boyle firm's staff meeting. DeMartini is not a lawyer. Citizens Awareness Foundation was filing so many lawsuits that Chandler was not able to vet them all, as he had negotiated from Hired as executive director of the Citizens Awareness Foundation, Joel Chandler resigned due to behavior he thought'may be criminal, fraudulent and unethical' according to an affidavit he filed. (Photo courtesy of Joel Chandler.) the start. In some cases, lawsuits were filed in his name without his knowledge or permission, he said. On June 2, Chandler emailed his board about using another law firm. "[I]f we use the O'Boyle Firm exclusively it will appear to be'self dealing' by the IRS," Chandler said. William Ring, the foundation's president and a lawyer with the Commerce Group, replied: "I'm not inclined to authorize [Citizens Awareness Foundation] to engage another law firm." Ring is now the registered agent for the O'Boyle Law Firm, state records show. Settlements Demanded The foundation targeted governments big and small, but it also filed complaints against obscure companies contracted by government agencies. Many weren't aware the records law applied to them. The records requests often came in over the weekend, from "An Onoma" with the email address vendor.contract.publishing@gmail.com. Dave McIntosh, who runs an environmental mitigation bank that does work for the state, said his records request from An Onoma came at 9:48 a.m. on Sunday, May 18. "1 was totally convinced it was bogus," he said. McIntosh wrote back asking who they were. The reply: "None of your business." The lawsuit arrived a month later, along with a settlement demand for $2,500. McIntosh offered to pay the $410 filing fee and $500 for costs. The lawyers rejected the offer and added a nondisclosure agreement, meaning the settlement couldn't be discussed afterwards. "To me that was hilarious, another brick in the wall that makes the case that these guys are a scam," McIntosh said. He's fighting the lawsuit. ,our unties, er for http://fcir.orgl20l4/ll/09/in-lawsuits-statewide-questions-of-profits-and-public-records/ 11/10/2014 In Lawsuits Statewide, Questions of Profits and Public Records I Florida Center for Invest... Page 4 of 4 In June, Miami's River of Life, a small social services agency, contacted Chandler saying they didn't realize their records were public and that they were willing to comply — but the settlement demand for nearly $4,000 was too much. Chandler called the O'Boyle lawyer handling the case, Nickalaus Taylor, on June 27. Afterthe call, Chandler emailed Taylor. "In our conversation this morning I understood, from you, that the O'Boyle Law Firm has about $1,200 in costs and fees in the case up to this point. I also understood that you have been instructed by Jonathan O'Boyle to demand $3,800 to settle the case. If such a demand is accepted by the Defendant that would create a windfall of about $2,600 beyond actual fees and expenses." Taylor responded: "This email is to confirm our conversation today and to reiterate that all offers for settlement are made pursuant to the policies of the O'Boyle Law Firm." On June 30, Chandler resigned. Worried about the damage he had inadvertently caused, he contacted defendants in the lawsuits and offered his help. Citizen Awareness Foundation sued him for breaches of contract and fiduciary duty. Since Chandler's departure, Citizens Awareness Foundation and Our Public Records LLC have filed 70 more lawsuits around the state. Among the latest defendants: a Catholic charity in Sarasota County, an accountant in Hillsborough County, and ChildNet, a nonprofit in Broward County whose mission is to "protect abused, abandoned and neglected children." http://fcir.orgl2014/11/09/in-lawsuits-statewide-questions-of-profits-and-public-records/ 11/10/2014 ui i,awaulw 0Laww1uc, Yucsldu115 U1 rEWILS anu rUU11C nCCOrQS ...rage L oI 1L South Florida millionaire Martin O'Boyle founded the Citizens Awareness Foundation.

By Tristram Korten and Trevor Aaronson Florida Center for Investigative Reporting The nonprofit Citizens Awareness Foundation was founded to "empower citizens to exercise their right to know," according to its mission statement. The South Florida millionaire backing the foundation hired one of the state's most prominent public records activists to run it, rented office space, and pledged to pay the legal fees to make sure people had access to government records. http://fcir.org/2014/ 11 /09/in-lawsuits-statewide-questions-of-pr... 11/10/2014 ut a review of court records and internal communications obtained by the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting shows Mia at the foundation is less interested in obtaining records and P-a>rfrners educating the public than in working with a partner law firm to collect cash settlements from every lawsuit filed.

A lawyer with the O'Boyle Law Firm filed all of the cases FCIR reviewed. The close partnership between Citizens Awareness Foundation and the law firm prompted the foundation's first executive director, Joel Chandler, to quit over concerns that the coordination "may be criminal, fraudulent and unethical," according to an affidavit he filed. Both organizations are housed at the offices of the Commerce Group, the Deerfield Beach real estate development firm owned by millionaire Martin O'Boyle. O'Boyle is best known for inundating the Palm Beach State Attorney's office with more than 1,300 public records requests, and for suing the wealthy town of Gulf Stream, where he lives, after filing 1,200 public records requests. Citizens Awareness Foundation's board is comprised of employees of the O'Boyle Law Finn and the Commerce Group. According to an email from one board member, the foundation had a quota to refer a minimum of 25 lawsuits per week to the law fine. The foundation has threatened so many engineers with legal action that the Florida Engineering Society sent a warning to members. "It is debatable whether they are truly seeking records or just attempting to obtain legal fees for a violation of this requirement," Craig Vam, the organization's general counsel, said in the May 23 memo. The road -building industry in Florida also has been swamped with public records requests and lawsuits from Citizens Awareness Foundation. "It's a sad game of `gotcha,' the only purpose of which is to generate an attorney fee claim rather than obtain any actual public records," said Bob Burleson, president of the Florida Transportation Builders' Association. State Sen. Wilton Simpson, R -Trilby, has received similar complaints, and has begun drafting legislation to better define the public records law. In October, the town commission of Gulf Stream, in Palm Beach County, voted unanimously to hire an outside lawyer to pursue a federal racketeering case against O'Boyle. Representatives of Citizens Awareness Foundation and the O'Boyle Law Firm referred questions to Fort Lauderdale lawyer Mitchell W. Berger. "We are new to this process and undertaking an investigation of the facts and circumstances which have resulted in the current controversy," Berger said. "We will not litigate this matter in the press on a question -by -question basis and will leave our http: //fcir. org/2014/ 11 /09/in-1 awsuits-statewide-questions-of-pr... 11/10/2014 In Lawsuits Statewide, Questions of Profits and Public Records ...Page 4 of 12 responses to be filed in the appropriate proceedings where we are sure justice will be done and our clients will be exonerated in the process."

All residential electric in the South section of Gulf Stream is now connected to the underground system. Landscape and streetscape repairs will be completed by the contractor within 30 days, and the final as -built construction drawings will be submitted to FPL, a requirement for FPL to remove their poles. Underground wiring for telephone and cable remains to be completed, however, as we await scheduling dates from AT&T and Comcast. The North half of the project will begin shortly. We expect a proposal from FPL by the end of the month, and then Gulf Stream can evaluate bids to complete this final phase of the underground project.

In addition, we have been sued in 8 other lawsuits by O'Hare and/or O'Boyle for, among other things, alleged slander and civil rights violations. Deposition testimony has been taken of several Town representatives, as well as a lengthy all -day questioning of Mr. -O'Boyle. The transcripts of testimony will shortly be posted on-line at our Town website so that anyone interested in these matters can easily have access to the testimony.

O'Hare likened the law to suppression of free speech worthy of the world's worst totalitarian states. "In North Korea, anyone speaking ill of Kim Jong Un will be arrested and never heard from again," he said. "In Cuba, anyone speaking badly of Fidel Castro or his revolution will be arrested and serve jail time." O'Boyle told commissioners the ordinance was so poorly and broadly written that logos on baseball caps and T-shirts could constitute violations of signage. He said that besides suppressing free speech, the new law might also suppress religion by restricting a nun's right to carry her rosary beads — or, worse. "For you to say that the pope can't come to Gulf Stream, based on an ordinance you wrote, shame on you," O'Boyle told the commission. Mayor Scott Morgan, accused of advancing a law that could bar Pope Francis from Gulf Stream's borders, said the town was taking reasonable steps to revise its rules in a way that would satisfy the courts and protect rights, not infringe on them. "Your comments are palpably absurd," Morgan told O'Boyle and O'Hare. "Comments comparing this town to despotic regimes are insulting and absurd. Your comments are designed to take what is a good -faith effort by this town to pass a reasonable ordinance — and as always apply the ordinance fairly — but your attempts are to position as such so you can advance legal action against it, again costing us time, resources and money." In October, the commission voted to pursue a RICO case against the two men, alleging abuses of public records requests and frivolous lawsuits. O'Hare and O'Boyle have sued the town dozens of times, and one of them was over the sign ordinance last year. O'Boyle ran for the commission in March, and the town removed some of his campaign signs, charging they were placed in rights of way or other public spaces in violation of the existing sign ordinance. O'Boyle sued in the federal court, claiming suppression of free speech, and the case is scheduled to go to trial in the spring. In December, U.S. District Court Judge Donald Middlebrooks issued a ruling that had something for both sides to like. Middlebrooks ruled that Town Manager William Thrasher and Police Chief Garrett Ward couldn't be held personally liable for removing O'Boyle's signs, and the town had the right to restrict where signs were placed. However, Middlebrooks also ruled that O'Boyle could challenge the town's old sign code because its "content -based restriction" of certain kinds of signs might constitute an infringement of free speech. Town Attorney John Randolph says that, in writing the new rules, the town is trying to address that concern with a "content -neutral ordinance that will stand constitutional scrutiny." The new rules ignore language and treat all signs the same, whether they're about real estate, political candidates, building names or bake sales. While ignoring content, the rules do regulate "the time, place and manner of signs," according to Randolph. No sign can exceed four feet in height. Only government signs are allowed on public property or rights of way. The ordinance defines a sign as virtually any "reading matter, illustration, logo, insignia, sculpture, molding, casting, object, bunting, symbol" or other object that's designed to attract attention. Randolph said the new language is drawn from court -tested sign laws in other communities. "The town will have to make a determination in the future as to how this ordinance will be applied," Randolph said, "and presumably, the town, as it has done in the past, is going to apply its ordinances fairly." Residents will be spared another dispute over campaign signs for at least another year. The town has no March election, after all five commissioners were elected to two-year terms in 2014, the first election in 21 years. i can 0,am c c y "% y rJ' "If T 3 s rD �00Egotay�fn mg fan y Od`<=W m SO.

THRASHER Town Clerk RITA L. TAYLOR I want to thank all of you for your support during the election and for your continued support of the new Commission as it moves forward to address Town matters. There are a number of important developments in the Town that affect all residents, and for that reason, I am writing this letter to keep you abreast of these current events. The underground electrical wiring project is proceeding well with conduit being laid in the Town district and along the Southern portion of A1A. This is called the First Stage of the project. The First Stage is expected to be completed by the end of August. The second and final stage is on target for completion by December 2015. Funding for the underground wiring is complete and, if the rest of the job goes as expected, we believe that there will be some amount of funding overage for remittance back to the residents. The Ad Hoc Committee appointed to review our Code and Design Manual recently submitted its report. The Committee made a number of recommendations but essentially concluded that most Town residents like our current Code as written and do not want to see any significant changes to it. The full report is being placed on-line so you will be able to review it on our Town website. Town Hall is being made more accessible for persons with disabilities. There is now a unisex bathroom that can accommodate a wheel chair. In addition, the Commission has allocated funds to build a ramp at the rear of the building for wheelchair use. One of the more pressing issues involves the Town's finances. Historically, Gulf Stream functioned well utilizing only the revenue from its property taxes. Over time, the Town built up a reserve of funds that could be used for capital improvements or for emergency spending, like storm damage or water line repairs. Current thinking is that a reasonable General Fund Reserve for a town of our size should be around $1 million to $1.5 million, and that is a level that Gulf Stream has typically maintained. Recently, Gulf Stream's General Fund Reserves have dropped to around $675,000.00. Legal fees and costs have risen dramatically due to our defending over 20 lawsuits filed by two residents, Mr. O'Boyle and Mr. O'Hare.

Page 1 of 2 Political signs: Zoning board balks at 60 -day display period to satisfy lawsuit Related By William Kelly Deily News Staff Writer Zoning commissioners say they prefer to keep a town rule that limits the display of political signs on residential lawns to 30 days before an election. Town Atomey John Randolph told the beam Tuesday Mat the town has agreed to extend the display period to 60 days as pan of a legal seftiemenl with a Palm Beach couple who sued Me town over its ordinance regulating the display of political signs. Lesley Bleckner, an environmental lawyer, and her husband Richard Stone allege in their suit that Me ordinance violates the First Amendment right to free speech by msMcling the number of signs to one (comer lots can put up one sign on each footage), and limiting the display period b 30 days before an election. The couple filed wit In U.S. District Court In Miami ager town code enforcement officers removed poli calsigns from the lawn of their Australian Avenue home last year. To avoid a court battle, the town agreed 10 allow one sign per candidate or cause, and to extend Me display period to 60 days, Randolph said. Zoning Chairman Susan Markin sale that, bemuse town elections are held In early February, the 60 -day period means political signs will begin to appear In eady December in future town elections. 'it means our town Is looking Politically tacky though the holidays.* she said. But Bleckner and Stone aro in a strong position legally because the courts have held that sign laws must be 'content neutrel; and town law does not restrict the length of time that commercial signs can be displayed, Randolph said. -I he" heard that is a mncem with some people,' Randolph said of the extension to 60 days. Bleckner and Stone -aro not amenable to changing that back. They want 60 days. They had wanted three months' At the commission's Insistence, Randolph agreed to revisit the Issue with Blackner and Stone. The commission also recommended that the IaWs setback restriction should be changed so political signs can be placed 2 feel from the edge of properties, Instead of 5 fret, which is the anent ole. Markin said Me 5 -foot setback Is unrealistic because many lawn residents have hedges orwalls at the edge of their properties. Amendments to me sign ordinance require council approval In two separate votes before they take effect. Enforcement suspended Meanwhile, the council has suspended rode enforcement of Me ona-sign-par-properly restriction during the campaign leading up to the Feb. 3 election, in which two council seals are being contested. Markin said it's unfortunate that the town must put up with a doubling In the number of political signs this election, and the prospect of many more signs during future state and national elections, to satisfy the legal complaint of one muple. She questioned how the town has been violating free speech if the political sign ordinance is applied to all residents. But Randolph said judges find that the mnstitutional right to free speech takes precedent over local ordinances. bGT-12177.!

Scott lakes appointments. rJane Musgrave ilm Beach Post Staff Writer 'EST PALM BEACH — In what believed to be the biggest :)heaval in the judiciary in ahn Beach County histo - r, seven circuit judges either ave left or will be leaving the inch in the next two months. Already scrambling to fill va- mcies created whenjudge Dbin Rosenberg was tapped it the federal bench and long - me judge Ronald Alvarez re- tired earlier this year, Chief Cir- cuit judgeJelh'ey Colbath said the juggling act will get more complicated when Timothy McCarthy and Edward Fine step down next month. While three new judges will take office in January, replac- ing two longtime jurists who chose not to seek re-election and one who was booted from office by voters, the four oth- er seats will remain vacant until Gov. Rick Scott acts. Such a historic exodus, largely a result of the aging of the county's long -stable judi- ciary, is a concern for lawyers. Not only will the shakeup cause inevitable delays as cas- es are shuffled, to new judges, but many worry that the new- ly re-elected Republican gov- ernor will use the appoint- ment process to reward peo- ple for party loyalty instead of their legal chops. "The old joke used to be: What is a judge? A judge is someone who's friends with the governor," said Gerald Richman, a longtime attorney and Democratic activist. Steps Scott has taken since he took office in 2011 have raised the hackles of some lawyers.

Look for inconsistencies in their stories. y I • Some sociopaths will go to great lengths to make you believe their lies. For L ST nw- -(/I example, a sociopath may pretend to leave "to go to work" every single day even if that person is unemployed. • Many sociopaths are delusional to the point where they believe that their lies are the truth. For example, Charles Manson once said, "I've never killed anyone! I don't need to kill anyonel"Irl 3 See if they are able to stay eerily calm in spite of circumstances. A sociopath can experience a highly emotional event without displaying the least bit of emotion, at least on the surface (silent scom). They often respond to "good news" with cold blank stares. Sociopaths don't register events the same way as non -sociopaths and may barely react in dangerous or scary situations. • If you find yourself flustered or panicked and the person you're with looks barely perturbed, then he or she may not register an event as sencusly as you do. • Check to see if the person has ever seemed anxious or nervous, especially in situations that should naturally cause this behavior. Though some people are more even -keeled than others, most people demonstrate some forth of anxiety eventually. • Studies show that sociopaths do not demonstrate anxiety when shown disturbing images or when they're given small electrical shocks, while non - sociopaths do register anxiety and fear in these situabons.lh 4 See if they are extremely charming - at first Sociopaths are great at charming people, because they know how to get what they want. Charming people know i how to make people feel special, to ask people the right questions about themselves, V I� G''l1 ✓�-•7 and to generally be perceived as fun, likable, and interesting. Truly charming people a possess the ability to charm almost anyone, from little kids to old ladies. If the person is incredibly charming at first glance, while his or her later behavior scares or confuses you, then you may have a sociopath on your hands. • You can think of sociopaths as con artists who always have a secret agenda. They need to know how to charm people in order to get what they want. To advance their goals, they first have to blend in with the crowd, which means they need to know how to smile, greet people, and make people feel comfortable. • Although many sociopaths can be extremely charming, they harbor strong antisocial inclinations and can exist in isolation (without feeling deprived) for weeks at a time. • Many sociopaths are so charming that they have a glow about them and even oftentimes radiate sexuality. 5 See If the person Is exceptionally Intelligent Some of the famous sociopaths L ' possess a strong mental acumen and can perform well in acedemics(skill without r—a t_ L - L.C- cracking a book.

Their extreme intelligence is part of what makes them so dangerous, C, (Ge R j- C because they will often be several steps ahead of people who are on to them and are able to cover their tracks. http://www.wikihow.com/Spot-a-Sociopath 8/3/2014 How to Spot a Sociopath: 19 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow Page 3 of 9 Many of the most notorious sepal killers had very high IQ's; this is part of the reason that they were able to evade the police for so long. 6 See if the person Is manipulative. Sociopaths understand human weakness and exploit it maximally. Once determined, they an manipulate individuals to do just about anything. Sociopaths prey on weak people and often stay away from equally U-I'1�C t1 r Al strong people; they look for people who are sad, insecure, or looking for a meaning in life bemuse they know that these people are soft targets. Check to see if the person is great at getting other people to do what he or she wants. • True sociopaths will slowly gain dominance and control over a person without the person realizing it. They like to be control of every situation and are I /L4 Cr I w uncomfortable being around other strong people. • See if the person is completely comfortable deceiving people and blatantly i— telling lies to get what he wants. 7 Look for signs of violent behavior. As children some sociopaths torture defenseless animals such as frogs, kittens, or puppies, or even defenseless people. (This behavior can surface in adulthood, but then damage is delivered via mental and emotional abuse.) The person may also be violent toward other people or may get enraged and punch walls, throw objects on the floor, or demonstrate other angry behavior. If you have the sense that, while the person is outwardly elm, he or she can snap and get violent at any moment, then he or she may be demonstrating sociopathic behavior. 8 See If the person has a huge ego. Sociopaths often have delusions of grandeur and think they are the greatest people in the world. They will be completely unresponsive to criticism and have an extremely inflated sense of self. They will also have a huge sense of entitlement, thinking that they deserve to have amazing things to happen to them, even after little eflort.pl • They may also have a completely unrealistic view of their own abilities; for example, they may think that they are extremely talented at singing or dancing, when in reality, they possess almost no skills in these fields. • The person may also think he or she is better than everyone around him or her, without evidence that he or she is superior. • The person may also be completely narcissistic. Thus, the person is far more interested in talking about him or herself than hearing what others have to say. Also, the person spends an a great deal of time staring in the minor than observing others in the world. The person, in general, doesn't want to hear what anyone else has to say. 9 See if the person makes uninterrupted eye contact Sociopaths are known for giving intense uninterrupted eye contact. The person stares because he or she is completely comfortable staring at people to make them uncomfortable. Staring at others intently is a way to further his or her own means. In her memoir, Confessions of a Sociopath, M. E. Thomas talks about her frequent tactic of giving people long, uninterrupted stares to get what she wants.Hl http://www.wikihow.com/Spot-a-Sociopath 8/3/2014 How to Spot a Sociopath: 19 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow Page 4 of 9 1 O Face reading. Face tells a lot about personality. Every feature in the face has some story to tell. If one is careful about face readings then its easy to distinguish between a normal person and sociopath. Eyes are a good way to know mental state of a pemon. 11 See If the person has few real friends. Though not everyone gets lucky in the friends lottery, your guard should go up if the person has virtually no real friends. He or she may have lackeys, people who hang around him just to get bossed around, or people who hover around him to try to mooch off of him, but try to see if the person has any meaningful connections with people. If the pemon has almost no friends, then there's a high chance that there's something wrong with him or her, unless he's very shy or has another compelling reason to lack friends.l'l • This goes for family members, too. If the person isn't in touch with any family members and never talks about them, there may be a problem, too. Of course, that person may have other reasons for not talking to these people, such as having a difficult childhood. • Look for a lack of connection to the past. If the person has virtually no friends from high school, college, or any past part of his or her life, then he or she may be a sociopath as well. 1 1 See if the person likes to isolate you. Sociopaths like to meet people and to L move fast and come in Gose. This is so you don't have a chance to pull back or change your mind. You may find that, after just a few weeks, the sociopath is acting very v __ 1— CAI intensely around you, if you're romantically involved. He or she may even make you feel like you're soul mates because he or she is so good at reading people that he or she i'l-( !y6VJy nit/\ (/ can say exactly what you want to hear. Ultimately, the sociopath will want to have you all to him or herself instead of "sharing" you with the wodd.lsl • If you're dating, the sociopath will quickly try to get you to stop hanging out with your friends, because he or she will feel threatened by them. He or she will make excuses for not hanging out with your friends, saying things like, "They don't really get you like I do" or They never gave me a chance," trying to make you feel like everyone is against you and that you should spend all of your time with him or her. See if the person is Immature. Sociopaths do not learn from their mistakes 13 and repeat the same ones again and again. Therefore, they do not grow or develop as much as other people do. Look for immature behavior that may be hidden underneath the person's veneer of charisma and charm. Here is some behavior to look for • Extreme selfishness. The person may want everything for him or herself at any cost. With this comes an unwillingness to share. • A huge ego. The person may be so obsessed with him or herself that he or she doesn't care for others at all. • Neediness. The person may want you to be there for him or her whenever you are wanted. http://www.wikihow.com/Spot-a-Sociopath 8/3/2014 now to spot a aoctopam: i y steps kwim rtctures) - wiKinow rage:) or y Part 2 of 2: Getting Away 1 Stay away if you can. Once you've confirmed that the person is a full-blown sociopath, then its best to avoid that person as much as you can. If that person is a co-worker or in your friend group, then you may not be able to completely avoid him or her, but try to steer clear as much as humanly possible. Remember that a sociopath may be able to detect that you're trying to distance yourself and may want to reel you in even more as a result stay strong and be determined to spend as little time with this person as possible. • This doesn't mean you should be openly mean or hostile; this can actually put you in a dangerous situation. • Don't tell the person, "I know you're a sociopath" This can enrage the person or make him or her even more determined to win you over. You don't want the person to know that you're onto him or her; just stay as removed as possible without being rude. 2 Be Immune to the sociopath's charms. The sociopath may want to charts you and to win you over with gifts, compliments, or stories meant to cast him or her in a favorable light But remember that once you've determined that this person is a full -on sociopath, there's no turning back. No amount of charming behavior or lies can win you back over to the dark side. Don't let the person flatter you into giving him or her a second chance. You're smarter than that. • Don't give in. The sociopath may even trick you into feeling sorry for him or her, talking about how alone he or she feels, or how important you are to him or her. But if this person is really as lying and manipulative as you determined him or her to be, then there's no way you can have true sympathy for him or her, beyond being sorry that this person is suffering from a mental disorder. 3 If you're dating the person, then get out as quickly as possible. If you happen to be dating the person who is a sociopath, than you have to get out as quickly and safely as you can. The longer you wait, the worse things will be, and the more likely you'll be to get sucked in to that person's line of thinking. If you need to end the relationship, then you have to tell the person as soon and as quickly as you can; there's no need to say you want to end the relationship because you think the person is sociopathic. • Remember that there's a difference between a person being really careless and being a sociopath. You may call someone a sociopath just because he's treated you poorly or acts really selfish, but this may just be a sign of poor character. A full -on sociopath really does not care about what anyone thinks or feels — what so ever. • If you're in a truly controlling or manipulative relationship, then you may not want to end it by yourself. You may need to do it over the phone or have a friend there to help you if you need to pick up your belongings. A sociopath may not take no for an answer. If you try to end the relationship, the sociopath may go to desperate and even violent measures to get you to stay. 4 Warn others. Though you don't need to go around broadcasting the fact that the person is sociopath to all of the word (unless the person is really a danger to others), you should consider warning people in that person's circle. Definitely, warn http://www.wikihow.com/Spot-a-Sociopath 8/3/2014 How to Spot a Sociopath: 19 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow others who are considering dating 'the person'. Don't anger'the person' by telling everyone he or she is a sociopath. However, if a situation presents itself where a potential victim really needs to be warned, don't be afraid to say what you think. • Take this on a case-by-case basis. If the person is a higher up at your company, then yeah, you probably shouldn't go around warning people. But you should stay away as much as you can. 5 Think for yourself. Sociopaths prey on people who have trouble thinking for themselves or who are looking for too much guidance. The best way you can make yourself immune to the sociopath's charms or to not be susceptible to meeting future sociopaths is to make sure that you know who you are and are able to develop your own ideas and to see the world through your own eyes. Sociopaths stay away from strong- minded people and original thinkers because they know they'll have a hard time controlling them!rl • Though it can take a lifetime to truly think for yourself, making an effort to be informed about current events, to understand multiple perspectives of any situation, and to spend time with people whose beliefs are different from yours can go a long way in helping you become a truly original thinker. • Part of it has to do with confidence. If you're confident in yourself, you'll have more confidence in your ideas. And you'll be much more likely to scare away any sociopaths who come your wayl 6 Give up fear of the sociopath. Instead, use your own thinking skills (as previously noted) and use reason and calmness to respond. For starters, a sociopath can fake everything, including all the listed items above, so if this person is pretending, there is little point playing up to a hollow cut-out Second, sociopaths are intelligent and this may well be a source of your own distress, trying to keep up or make a pretense at being as clever or as knowing, or more likely, dodging their overwhelming need to make their own intelligence or cleverness the center of everything. If you give up feeling the sociopath, and stop trying to be better than or at the same level as the sociopath, but rather, become far more accepting of your own self and appreciate what makes you worthy and valuable, a sociopath will have a hard time manipulating you. The majority of sociopaths are not killers, sadists or monsters, they're human beings who need to be handled with care. They do not choose to be a sociopath just as you don't choose to be a victim of their wiles. However, you can make it harder or easier for a sociopath to manipulate your weaker self, so the choice lies with you. Educate yourself about the means through which human beings manipulate and mistreat one another and arm yourself with the methods by which you undermine such treatment and get on with your own life. • This is not to say the sociopath will appreciate you showing your strong self and refusing to be taken in. However, the sociopath will stop expending energy on you and making further attempts to manipulate you because he or she will know you will call them out on it, every single time. That gets to be boring, and no sociopath likes boredom. Ad Ilk Arrest Is He Restore Records: 2 Cheating On Lake Secrets You?

They can never admit to fault and instead attack the victim. Key factor in any DSM diagnosis. • Most are aware of their need to hide cold traits, and are good actors (have adapted to being different) so most of this based on overt behavior is only true for unintelligent, young, or low.functioning sociopaths (who do not conceal cruel traitstgrossly anti -social behavior). • Some experts say that a great number of sociopaths were also child abuse sufferers. • Sociopathic behavior is strongly inherited, so look at problems in the family as a clue to a person's real personality. • You know that sociopaths are going to lie about their past, so take most of what they say with a grain of salt. Instead, look for any consistencies in any of their stories. Generally, there will be one or two details among all their fabrications that generally remain the same. This could either be the truth, or something they've said so often they think its the truth. If a person is "too good to be true", they probably are. This is the case for any DSM diagnosis, including sodopathy, borderline, and narciscism. • Sociopaths often know how to make others believe they are the victim while actually being the aggressor. • This type of person will tell you things to get you to forgive them and then say they never told you. This is a tactic to play mind games. • Realize that they may try to manipulate you, and learn to spot when they're trying. Otherwise, they could make you do stuff you don't want to.

So they will use all excuses for their actions in order to avoid being discovered for who they really are. • Although not all sociopaths are violent, it is best to distance yourself from these people on any emotional, friendship level. • Be immune to their charm. This just goes without saying. • Don't let them know that you're on to them. While this could go different ways depending on the sociopath, its still best that they don't know that you know. Sociopaths are less prone to emotion and so can use your emotion against you. It is most effective to deal with people in terms they understand; so, if you must deal with a sociopath, leave your emotions/feelings at the door or they will control you.

THRASHER DATE: June 24, 2014 TO: Mayor Morgan and Town Commissioners RE: Legal Update To help you stay informed of changing events that could affect the Town, I am attaching copies of a June 16, 2014 email from Mr. Jeff Hochman filing for a "stay of discovery and a continuance of the trial" and a recent PR lawsuit "CG Acquisition Company, Inc." dated June 13, 2014. L � r i fi L E The Town has filed a motion in the 15th Judicial Circuit for imposition of sanctions against Martin O'Boyle, his law firm, his son (listed as President of the O'Boyle Law Firm), and an outside attorney, for unprofessional, unethical, and abusive litigation tactics. The premise is that O'Boyle et al are undermining the administration of justice by interfering with defense counsels' ethical obligations to their client (Gulf Stream). A false and defamatory statement made at the June 13 Gulf Stream City Commission meeting to the effect that Mr. Sweetapple had misrepresented testimony and failed to acknowledge well-established case law in appeal not related to Gulf Stream "was made to undermine the Town's confidence in its attorney". MOB recanted the accusation at the July 11 Commission meeting. Numerous examples of impropriety are cited, both current and past. The most egregious is a threat of physical violence towards (Jones & Foster) attorney Joanne O'Connor's daughter. While professing that "he has never been a violent person...", MOB is alleged to have threatened to hire investigators to "watch counsel's daughter to see if she slips up". This incident was witnessed by four practicing attorneys, including MOB's personal lawyer. Woven through the Motion for Sanctions are the following: The O'B law firm may lack validity, in part or in whole. JOB has exceeded his allowed pro hoc vice appearances. The Motion leaves the matter to Court discretion to decide. MOB asked to discuss a settlement on June 4, but apparently changed his mind. MOB indicated to the defendant's counsel that he was planning to open sober houses throughout Gulf Stream on June 4, two days before registering Sweet Apple Sober Homes, LLC. Abusive behavior is not a novelty for MOB. His record on public records requests is cited. His defamation suit in Longport NJ is cited. His inundation (1300 records requests) of the State Attorney Office following conviction of his daughter for DUI is cited. The Palm Beach Post story on the Aronberg affair is cited. His adverse summary judgment ruling in the Tennessee case is cited. The wording of banners flown over the Jones Foster office (6) are cited. His lawyer is warned not to advise or condone conduct that interferes with, or legally exploits the legal system. Defendant seeks awards of fees and costs for bringing the motion. Narcissistic personality disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Narcissistic personality disorder From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorderlll in which a person is excessively preoccupied with personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity, mentally unable to see the destructive damage they are causing to themselves and to others in the process. It is estimated that this condition affects one percent of the population. [2][31 First formulated in 1968, NPD was historically called megalomania, and is a form of severe egocentrism i41 Contents ■ 1 Symptoms ■ 1.1 Eating disorders ■ 1.2 Professional attainment ■ 2 Causes ■ 2.1 Theories ■ 2.2 Splitting ■ 2.3 Relationship to shame ■ 3 Diagnosis ■ 3.1 DSM -5 ■ 3.2 ICD -10 ■ 3.3 Subtypes ■ 4 Treatment ■ 5 Epidemiology ■ 6 History ■ 7 Society and culture ■ 8 See also ■ 9 References ■ 10 Further reading Narcissistic personality disorder Classification and external resources Page 1 of 12 Narcissus by Caravaggio.

They have a sense of entitlement and demonstrate grandiosity in their beliefs and behavior. They have a strong need for admiration, but lack feelings of empathy. i51 Symptoms of this disorder, as defined by the DSM -W -TR, include:111 ■ Expects to be recognized as superior and special, without superior accomplishments ■ Expects constant attention, admiration and positive reinforcement from others ■ Envies others and believes others envy him/her ■ Is preoccupied with thoughts and fantasies of great success, enormous attractiveness, power, intelligence • Lacks the ability to empathize with the feelings or desires of others ■ Is arrogant in attitudes and behavior ■ Has expectations of special treatment that are unrealistic Other symptoms in addition to the ones defined by DSM -IV -TR include: Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends, has trouble keeping healthy relationships with others, easily hurt or rejected, appears unemotional, and exaggerating special achievements and talents, setting unrealistic goals for himself/herself.161 Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by an over -inflated sense of self-importance, as well as dramatic, emotional behavior that is in the same category as antisocial and borderline personality disorders. t71 In addition to these symptoms, the person may display arrogance, show superiority, and seek power.lsl The symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder can be similar to the traits of individuals with strong self-esteem and confidence; differentiation occurs when the underlying psychological structures of these traits are considered pathological. Narcissists have such an elevated sense of self-worth that they value themselves as inherently better than others, when in reality they have a fragile self-esteem, cannot handle criticism, and often try to compensate for this inner fragility by belittling or disparaging others in an attempt to validate their own self-worth. Comments and criticisms about others are vicious from sufferers of NPD, in an attempt to boost their own poor self-esteem 191 Another narcissist symptom is a lack of empathy. They are unable to relate, understand, and rationalize the feelings of others. Instead of behaving in a way that shows how they are feeling in the moment, they behave in the way that they feel they are expected to behave or what gives them the most attention t61 In children, inflated self -views and grandiose feelings, which are characteristics of narcissism, are part of the normal self -development. Children typically cannot understand the difference between their actual and their ideal self, which causes an unrealistic perception of the self. After about age 8, views of the self, both positive and negative, begin to develop based on comparisons of peers, and become more realistic. Two factors that cause self -view to remain unrealistic are dysfunctional interactions with parents that can be either excessive attention or a lack thereof. For example but not limited to, the excessive attention and lack of attention go hand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder 6/30/2014 Narcissistic personality disorder- Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 3 of 12 in hand when a child's parents are divorced. Usually, one is overindulgent (typically the one seeing the child less) and the other shows less affection.[61 The child either compensates for lack of attention or acts in terms of unrealistic self-perception.[10] An extensive US survey found a high association with other disabilities, especially amongst men: mental disability, substance use, mood, anxiety disorders and other personality disorders, bipolar I disorder, post- traumatic stress disorder, and schizotypal and borderline personality disorders were among the associated disabilities.[11] Eating disorders The study of Narcissism and the Narcissistic Defenses in the Eating Disorders was concerned with the correlation between eating pathology and narcissism. Two types of narcissism were observed: core narcissism, having extremely positive (high) self-esteem combined with delusions about the level and ability of achievement; and narcissistic defenses, defenses that are triggered when self-esteem is threatened. Such narcissists maintain self-esteem by seeing themselves as misunderstood and a subject to intolerable demands. [121 Two types of narcissistic defenses that were measured with eating pathology were "poisonous pedagogy" and "narcissistically abused". Poisonous pedagogy is one who places blame on others and is overly critical of others' inadequacies. The narcissistically abused are those who put others' needs before theirs yet see themselves as being poorly treated. Two groups were measured: Clinical (83 women and one male with the mean age of 28.4) and Non Clinical (70 women mean age of 23.2). BW of groups did not significantly vary. They filled out a questionnaire that was measured by eating characteristic and narcissism levels by the OMNI (O'Brien Multiphasic Narcissism Inventory) and the EDE-Q (Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire). OMNI measures pathological narcissism of narcissistic personality, poisonous pedagogy, and narcissistically abused personality. EDE-Q measures the common eating disorders: restraint, eating concern, body shape concern, and body weight concern. [121 The basic summaries of the questionnaire's findings were the poisonous pedagogy defenses was related to restrictive mind -set; narcissistically abused defense related to restraint, eating concern, body shape concern, and body weight concern. The only main difference between the groups was the role of core narcissism in the clinical women's levels of eating concerns. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship approaches in both groups [1�1 Professional attainment In 2005, Board and Fritzon published the results of a study in which they interviewed senior business managers, assessing them for the presence of personality disorder. [131 Comparing their findings to three samples of psychiatric patients, they found that their senior business managers were as likely to demonstrate narcissistic traits as the patient population, although were less physically aggressive. Causes The cause of this disorder is unknown; however, Groopman and Cooper (2006) listed the following factors identified by various researchers as possibilities: [21 ■ An oversensitive temperament (personality traits) at birth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder 6/30/2014 Narcissistic personality disorder - Wllupedia, the tree encyclopedia Page 4 of 12 ■ Excessive admiration that is never balanced with realistic feedback. ■ Excessive praise for good behaviors or excessive criticism for bad behaviors in childhood. ■ Overindulgence and overvaluation by parents, other family members, or peers. ■ Being praised for perceived exceptional looks or abilities by adults. ■ Severe emotional abuse in childhood. ■ Unpredictable or unreliable caregiving from parents. ■ Learning manipulative behaviors from parents. ■ Valued by parents as a means to regulate their own self-esteem. Some narcissistic traits are common with a normal developmental phase. When these traits are compounded by a failure of the interpersonal environment and continue into adulthood, they may intensify to the point where NPD is diagnosed.1141 Recent research has identified a structural abnormality in the brains of those with narcissistic personality disorder, specifically noting less volume of gray matter in the left anterior insula.1"ll"I This brain region relates to empathy, compassion, emotional regulation, and cognitive functioning. 1171 Theories Pathological narcissism occurs in a spectrum of severity. In its more extreme forms, it is narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). NPD is considered to result from a person's belief that they are flawed in a way that makes them fundamentally unacceptable to others."] This belief is held below the person's conscious awareness; such a person would, if questioned, typically deny thinking such a thing. To protect themselves against the intolerably painful rejection and isolation that (they imagine) would follow if others recognized their (perceived) defective nature, such people make strong attempts to control others' views of them and behavior towards them. Pathological narcissism can develop from an impairment in the quality of the person's relationship with their primary caregivers, usually their parents, in that the parents could not form a healthy and empathic attachment to them.1191 This results in the child's perception of himself/herself as unimportant and unconnected to others. The child typically comes to believe they have some personality defect that makes them unvalued and unwanted.1201 To the extent that people are pathologically narcissistic, they can be controlling, blaming, self-absorbed, intolerant of others' views, unaware of others' needs and of the effects of their behavior on others, and insistent that others see them as they wish to be seen. [211 Narcissistic individuals use various strategies to protect the self at the expense of others. They tend to devalue, derogate and blame others, and they respond to threatening feedback with anger and hostility.[221 People who are narcissistic commonly feel rejected, humiliated and threatened when criticised. To protect themselves from these dangers, they often react with disdain, rage, and/or defiance to any slight criticism, real or imagined. 1233 To avoid such situations, some narcissistic people withdraw socially and may feign modesty or humility. In cases where the narcissistic personality -disordered individual feels a lack of admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation, they may also manifest a desire to be feared and be notorious (narcissistic supply). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder 6/30/2014 iNarcissisac personamy msoraer - wuapeala, me aee encyctopema rage 3 or 11 Although individuals with NPD are often ambitious and capable, the inability to tolerate setbacks, disagreements or criticism, along with lack of empathy, make it difficult for such individuals to work cooperatively with others or to maintain long-term professional achievements.1241 With narcissistic personality disorder, the individual's self -perceived fantastic grandiosity, often coupled with a hypomanic mood, is typically not commensurate with his or her real accomplishments. Splitting People who are diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder use splitting as a central defense mechanism. According to psychoanalyst Kemberg, "The normal tension between actual self on the one hand, and ideal object on the other, is eliminated by the building up of an inflated self-concept within which the actual self and the ideal self and ideal object are confused. At the same time, the remnants of the unacceptable images are repressed and projected onto external objects, which are devalued."1251 The merging of the "inflated self-concept" and the "actual self' is seen in the inherent grandiosity of narcissistic personality disorder. Also inherent in this process are the defense mechanisms of devaluation, idealization and denial 1261 Other people are either manipulated as an extension of one's own self, who serve the sole role of giving "admiration and approval ,1251 or they are seen as worthless (because they cannot collude with the narcissist's grandiosity) 1251 Relationship to shame It has been suggested that narcissistic personality disorder may be related to defenses against shame. [271 Psychiatrist Glen Gabbard suggested NPD could be broken down into two subtypes.i281 He saw the "oblivious" subtype as being grandiose, arrogant, and thick-skinned, and the "hypervigilant" subtype as being easily hurt, oversensitive, and ashamed. In his view, the oblivious subtype presents for admiration, envy, and appreciation of a powerful, grandiose self that is the antithesis of a weak internalized self, which hides in shame, while the hypervigilant subtype neutralizes devaluation by seeing others as unjust abusers. Dr. Jeffrey Young, who coined the term "Schema Therapy", a technique originally developed by psychiatrist Aaron T. Beck (1979), also links NPD and shame. He sees the so-called Defectiveness Schema as a core schema of NPD, along with the Emotional Deprivation and Entitlement Schemas.[291 Diagnosis DSM -5 The formulation of narcissistic personality disorder in DSM -IV was criticised for failing to describe the range and complexity of the disorder. Critics say it focuses overly on "the narcissistic individual's external, symptomatic, or social interpersonal patterns --at the expense of... internal complexity and individual suffering," which reduces its clinical utility.l301 The Personality and Personality Disorders Work Group originally proposed the elimination of NPD as a distinct disorder in DSM -5 as part of a major revamping of the diagnostic criteria for personality disorders, 13111321 replacing a categorical with a dimensional approach based on the severity of dysfunctional personality trait domains. Some clinicians objected to this, characterizing the new diagnostic system as an "unwieldy conglomeration of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder 6/30/2014 ivarctssisuc personamy arsoraer - wttapecua, me tree encyclopeata rage o of 12 disparate models that cannot happily coexist" and may have limited usefulness in clinical practice. [333 In July 2011, the Work Group came back with a major revision to their original proposal. In this revision, NPD was reinstated with dramatic changes to its definition. f341 The general move towards a dimensional (personality trait -based) view of the Personality Disorders has been maintained despite the reintroduction of NPD. ICD -10 The World Health Organization's ICD -10 lists narcissistic personality disorder under (F60.8 (hup✓/apps.who. indclassifications/icd10/browse/2010%n#IF60.8)) Other specific personality disorders. [351 It is a requirement of ICD -10 that a diagnosis of any specific personality disorder also satisfies a set of general personality disorder criteria. Subtypes Theodore Millon identified five narcissist subtypes, 1311361 however, there are few pure variants of any subtype, [361 and the subtypes are not recognized in the DSM or ICD. Subtype Description Personality Traits Unprincipled Including antisocial features.

When unable to gain recognition or support from others, they take on the role of a heroic or worshipped person with a grandiose mission. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder 6/30/2014 1\LLl Y1JJ1JLlY - vyljJGV14, LV 11GG raga / Vl I/- Other L Other theorists have identified two types of narcissism. Those narcissists who have been diagnosed with narcissistic grandiosity express behavior "through interpersonally exploitative acts, lack of empathy, intense envy, aggression, and exhibitionism."1371Another type of narcissism is narcissistic vulnerability. It entails (on a conscious level) "helplessness, emptiness, low self-esteem, and shame, which can be expressed in the behavior as being socially avoidant in situations where their self -presentation is not possible so they withdraw, or the approval they need/expect is not being met. ,J371 Treatment Clinical strategies are outlined by Heinz Kohut, Stephen M. Johnson and James F. Masterson, while Johns [201 discusses a continuum of severity and the kinds of therapy most effective in different cases. Schema Therapy, a form of therapy developed by Jeffrey Young that integrates several therapeutic approaches (psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral etc.), also offers an approach for the treatment of NPD.13s1 It is unusual for people to seek therapy for NPD. This is partly due to the NPD sufferers' not believing they have a problem. Most, if not all, are unable to see the destructive damage they are causing to themselves and to others and usually only seek treatment at the insistence of relatives and friends.161 Unconscious fears of exposure or inadequacy often cause defensive disdain of therapeutic processes.13911401 Pattern change strategies, over a long period of time, are for narcissists to work on increasing their ability to become more empathetic in everyday relationships. To help modify their sense of entitlement and self-centeredness schema, the strategy is to help them identify how to utilize their unique talents and to help others for reasons other than their own personal gain. This is not so much to change their self -perception of their "entitlement" feeling but more to help them empathize with others. Another type of treatment would be temperament change. [411 Anger, rage, impulsivity and impatience can be worked on with skill training. Therapy is not one hundred percent effective because patients receive feedback poorly and defensively. Anxiety disorders and somatoma dysfunctions are prevalent but the most common would be depression. Medication has proven ineffective for treating narcissistic personality disorder, but psychoanalytic psychotherapy has a higher success rate. Therapists must recognize the patient's traits and use caution in tearing down narcissistic defenses too quickly. Group treatment has its benefits as the effectiveness of receiving peer feedback rather than the clinician's may be more accepted, but group therapy can also contradict itself as the patient may show "demandingness, egocentrism, social isolation and withdrawal, and socially deviant behavior." Researchers originally thought group therapy among Narcissists would fail because it was believed that group therapy required empathy that NPD patients lack. However, studies show group therapy does hold value for patients because it lets them explore boundaries, develop trust, increase self-awareness, and accept feedback. 161 Relationship therapy stresses the importance of learning and applying four basic interpersonal skills: "...effective expression, empathy, discussion and problem solving/conflict resolution. "[61 Marital/relationship therapy is most beneficial when both partners participate. [411 Epidemiology Lifetime prevalence is estimated at 1% in the general population and 2% to 16% in clinical populations. 1211421 In 2009, Twenge and Campbell conducted studies suggesting that the incidence of NPD had more than doubled in the US in the prior 10 years, and that 1 in 16 of the population have experienced NPD. E431 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder 6/30/2014 ANUFLA551JLLli pCLJUUdULy LUSUILLCC - W 1K1peUM, U1C IMM CnCyelUpCUJd rage a or 1L "A nationwide study in the United States found that 7.7 percent of men and 4.8 percent of women could be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (Stinson et al., 2008). These data also suggest that narcissistic personality disorder is more prevalent among younger adults, possibly supporting the impression that narcissistic personality disorder is on the rise as a result of social and economic conditions that support more extreme versions of self -focused individualism (Bender, 2012)." [44] History The use of the term "narcissism" to describe excessive vanity and self-centeredness predates by many years the modern medical classification of narcissistic personality disorder. The condition was named after Narcissus, a mythological Greek youth who became infatuated with his own reflection in a lake. He did not realize at first that it was his own reflection, but when he did, he died out of grief for having fallen in love with someone that did not exist outside of himself. The term "narcissistic personality structure" was introduced by Kernberg in 19671451 and "narcissistic personality disorder" first proposed by Heinz Kohut in 1968.1461 Society and culture In the film To Die For, Nicole Kidman's character wants to appear on television at all costs, even if this involves murdering her husband. A psychiatric assessment of her character noted that she "was seen as a prototypical narcissistic person by the raters: on average, she satisfied 8 of 9 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder... had she been evaluated for personality disorders, she would receive a diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder."1471 See also ■ Malignant narcissism ■ Narcissism ■ Narcissistic leadership ■ Narcissistic mortification ■ Narcissistic neurosis ■ Narcissistic parent ■ Narcissistic Personality Inventory References ■ Narcissistic rage and narcissistic injury ■ Narcissism of small differences ■ Narcissistic supply Associated: • Egomania • Egotism ■ Hubris • Megalomania ■ Selfishness ■ Superiority complex ■ True self and false self Case study: ■ Brian Blackwell 1.

She questioned why the town moved its mon- ey into Independent Community Bank, where Zuccarelli was a 9.9 per- cent owner and Pierson owned stock. She pushed fellow commissioners to fix what she said were blocked or undersized drainage pipes, claiming they were contributing to flooding and sink holes. She criticized Pier- son for not putting an en. closure around his pool and Comerford, then a commissioner, for not trimming bushes that obstructed motorists' views.
