The City of Auburn is encouraging citizens to stay local and ShopAuburn this holiday season.
"It's a initiative of the chamber and city to keep sales tax dollars local, that's what pays for police protection, fire protection, local schools and local roads," explains City of Auburn's Director of Public Affairs, David Dorton. "So that's just an important part of the city's revenue structure and how we keep services going."
ShopAuburn applies to every business within the Auburn city limits and to make traveling downtown even simpler, parking will be at no cost this week and during the Auburn University's holiday break.
"Downtown meters are free this week and they'll be free between semesters so all during Christmas all meters will be free, so it will be easy to visit downtown businesses and restaurants," says Dorton.
Local merchants are partnering with city's campaign and are offering promotions to attract people downtown.
"I am actually from Auburn so I think its very important to keep taxes and everything downtown so we can keep auburn beautiful not only for the people in our community, but for the people who come in from out of town because we represent Auburn as a whole," explains Wrapsody manager, Kasi Davis.
Not only do supporting local businesses benefit local shop owners, but it also benefits Auburn citizens whose purchases generate tax dollars to fund important local infrastructure projects, like the City of Auburn's parking project.
"Just in the next week they are going to take down two buildings, the Auburn Bank drive-thru and they yellow building news to it will come down and become parking," says Dorton.
When the two buildings are torn down next week, it will create 50 new parking spots that will be temporarily free.

So you thought Romain Sato having to spend 24 hours cooling his heels in a Ljubljana airport was serious stuff? Just imagine the same situation, except with the additional headache of not being paid for your services as a basketball player. For nearly two months. In Qatar.
That's the incredible situation facing former Mississippi State University Bulldog and international journeyman Marcus Campbell this morning.
(Well, okay, maybe not quite as incredible as the headline "Marcus Campbell held hostage in Qatar!" might lead you to believe, but a twisted ballooning of all the worst practices in contract management we've seen in Europe through the years nonetheless.)

Alright so this may sound like a total noob question or maybe I am just missing something, but here is my dilemma... I really like having my shoulder length runners tripled and on my harness. I find it kinda cumbersome at times to the them off my chest to use them. However here is my question... How do you rack/clip your cams with the tripled runners without all the extra racking biners? It seems like you would have a wasted biner at every placement. I see the advantage of using slings on your chest with one biner so you just clip the racking biner, but I really want to use the alpine runners so I am not fighting with crap on my chest as much. Thanks!
Carry both, but why rack the alpine draws if your just going to extend all the placements. You could put a runner on one biner with a few twists but that makes them harder to use on lead. I like options myself in case I'm in an awkward position ill have a few quick draws on each side plus longer runners over the shoulder as well. Over the shoulder is easier to clean and swap at belays which saves time.
I rack multiple cams on 1 biner. Kind of like nuts, also depends on how many cams your taking up... I usually got 4 cams per biner with aliens and smaller BD's up to #1. After that the #2 and #3 get there own biner with an alpine draw already clipped to the sling. That way I just unclip plug and clip. I usually end up taking only 2 biners up with cams so that saves a ton. When you get to a placement, you take the cams off, plug on, unclip and reclip to harness, then clip a draw, simple. Just don't be reckless and drop your cams because if you drop one you drop 3 others with it...
I used to do that ^^^^^ but stopped. It was slowing me down too much, because often I don't extend every cam. I climb harder when I'm not wasting time extending every cam and fussing with a 'biner full of cams
I just use and leave the extra racking biners. Makes cleaning and placing gear much faster for me. Rack cams with Nano's or Phantoms and it's hardly a weight penalty. On a big nut heavy pitch I may steal the racking biner from a cam if I'm running short on biners but that's rare. Faster to just have the extra biner for me.
Leave the extra biner. The additional convenience and speed of being able to clip straight into the cam sling right off your harness MASSIVELY outweighs the additional weight of an extra biner in almost all scenarios. There are those that rack multiple cams on one 'biner, but I find this to be a massive pain in the ass. 1st off, you should know which cam is the right one almost every time, the first time. And in the case where you get it wrong, you will DEFINITELY know which one on your second shot. For nuts, this isn't as much the case, so it's nice to have multiple ones on one 'biner to play with before you take your selected nut off the racking biner. It's also a pain to try to place a cam, especially the bigger ones, with other cams attached to it. I will, however, occasionally (maybe 10% of the time) rack multiple micro cams on one biner, similar to nuts. This is largely because it's harder to get the right one on your first shot, so it's nice to try out a couple before returning it to your harness. I am also more likely to sling the micro cams out a little more with a trad draw to prevent them from shifting, since even a small shift in micros can make a huge difference in placement quality. Finally, I will often place multiple micros in the same feature, since micro cams are a bit sketchy in my book (I've popped a few in my time, all backed up with other pieces close by). They also weigh a lot less, so it's more convenient. As for the runners/draws, I typically rack anywhere from 2-10 single length trad draws on my harness, and 0-2 double length slings over my shoulder depending on what I expect the composition of gear to be and how much it may wander. The double length slings are clipped with a 'biner at the ends, so all I need to do to remove it is unclip the 'biner, rather than having to pull it over my shoulder again. I very rarely rack single length slings over my shoulder.
I bring 4 biners each on their own short sling, like about 8 inches long. Like a quick draw but with just 1 biner. So I just grab one of those when I need to extend a cam a little bit. And I have my cams racked on their own biner. I also bring up regular quick draws for nuts.
I single-rack my cams and carry separate draws. Sometimes you clip directly into the cam, and when you don't, I think the extra weight of a few biners is outweighed by the speed and convenience. I have another question. I don't carry anything over my shoulders, because I am a small person with tiny shoulders and slings just don't stay on. I'm wondering if anyone has another good way to carry double-length slings? I think I see most people just double and throw them over the shoulder. Currently I carry a few tripled and twisted on a biner to keep them out of the way while I climb, but it is pretty slow to get one off to extend pro. Anyone got any good suggestions?
Em Cos: Triple them twice. i.e., triple them as normal, then repeat the procedure. You end up with a quickdraw length package that extends the same way as a normal tripled does, just unclip one biner and re-clip it to one of the 6 strands, pull. No untwisting or shaking loose to get the twist out. In deployment it's as quick as using a regular tripled.
Using some of the longer more flexible quickdraws works just as well in a lot of situations. Also if you have C4 or other cams with a loop at the end, you can just hitch a sling through the loop and use the racking biner to clip to the rope.
Extending cam slings write-up from BD QC Labs. Excerpt: Therefore sling on sling method provided results 61.8% of historical average�or another way to look at it, it reduced the strength of the cam sling by almost 40%.
Edit: Oops, link was already posted by fossana.
Can always count on MP to come through like the WU... So...why don't more folks do that instead of carrying the extra biner and weight? If it's that simple to have a nice expendable draw...maybe just the fact that a girth hitch (or any knot) loses strength?
There is another BD link, it describes why they double wrap the nylon sling. I don't have time to hunt it down. Suffice to say, girth hitching just the thumb loop would be a strength reduction I'm personally not comfortable with on a regular basis. Plus you'll probably tweak your C4 thumb loops pretty fast if you fall on the cams like that. Why is explained in the BD link.
Here's that link: www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/journal/climb-knowledge/>>>
Edit: beaten to the punch again.
Luckily it is not a common occurrence, but something to be aware of is the danger if you fell and an over the shoulder sling caught on something. It is potentially deadly. It is not the greatest idea to have things slung around your neck in a dynamic situation. I read a story fairly recently about a young woman dyeing this way. I forgot if it caught on a bolt hanger or rock protrusion.
If you are talking about the accident at the Obelisk last year, it was a gear sling and a cam trigger caught on a knob.. what a freak accident.
Not to be too macabre, but I also have a friend who participated in a body recovery years back when an iceclimber strangled himself with a sling on Mnt. Katahdin in Maine.

Mets' matchup with Nats washed away
Maine's start may be moved to Monday in Philadelphia
NEW YORK -- The nor'easter drenching the East Coast has prompted the Mets to postpone their scheduled Sunday afternoon game against the Nationals. The decision was made early Sunday morning when club officials met at Shea Stadium. No makeup date has been announced.
The club said they will celebrate Jackie Robinson on Friday night before its 7:10 p.m. ET contest against the Atlanta Braves. Pregame festivities are expected to begin at 6:30. Tickets for Sunday's game can be exchanged for an equivalent ticket for Friday, while supplies last.
John Maine was to have started for the Mets. His start has been pushed to Monday night in the opener of the Mets' two-game series in Philadelphia. He will be pitching with six days' rest, hardly his preference. Freddy Garcia is to start for the Phillies, whose Sunday game against the Astros also was rained out.
Tom Glavine remains on schedule and will start on Tuesday night, opposite Jamie Moyer, as he did Thursday night at Shea. Oliver Perez now is to start Wednesday night in Miami when the Mets begin a two-game series against the Marlins. He, too, will pitch on six days' rest.
Mike Pelfrey now will start Thursday night's game in Miami on five days' rest, with Orlando Hernandez, ineffective against the Nationals on Saturday, opening the home series against the Braves on Friday night. El Duque will be followed by Maine and Glavine.

New Haslam TV Ads
Title: 'Honest and Sincere'
Script, delivered by Norman Rickman, retired police officer:
"I got shot in the line of duty. Four times. Chest. Arm. Back. They rushed me to the hospital, but somehow Mayor Bill Haslam beat me there. Came back every day, sometimes at four, five in the morning. Sat on the floor, comforting my kids and my wife.
"He's honest, sincere. Bill Haslam's a good man."
Title: A Healthy Tennessee
Script, read by Haslam:
"Is there anything we can do to actually bring down the cost of health care? Sure there is. Stand up against Washington's unaffordable plan. Encourage more personal responsibility. Enact tort reform.
"As mayor, I introduced incentives for personal responsibility and preventative care into the city's health plan. And you know what? It worked. A healthy Tennessee. That's what matters now."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Northern California residents recovering yesterday from a series of wet, windy storms likely won't get much of a break as another system is expected to drench the area.
Up to 5 more inches of rain could fall in the region beginning today, the National Weather Service said. The rain could be especially heavy at times in areas north of Redding and across the Sierra Nevada, meteorologist Dan Keeton said.
Still, it should be nothing like the downpours that left between 15 to 20 inches of rain in some areas over the five-day period that ended Sunday. Forecasters said the latest storm left the area faster than expected.
"It's going to be significant, but less impactful," Keeton said of the coming rain. "There will be some isolated impact in certain areas, but nothing as widespread compared to what we saw late last week. This was a down payment on our winter water supply accumulation."
Pacific Gas & Electric crews continued to work on restoring power to about 8,000 users, a figure that was down from 57,000 on Sunday in areas stretching from Santa Cruz to Eureka and parts of the San Francisco Bay area.
Three powerful storms drenched the region within a week. In the high Sierra, more than 5 feet of snow during the stretch forced the closures of a major road and a secondary roadway through Yosemite National Park, officials said.
Both roads typically close in the late fall when heavy snows arrive and reopen when weather conditions allow in the spring.
Sunday's storm dropped as much as an inch of rain an hour in some areas while toppling trees, bringing flash flooding to roadways and knocking out electrical service.
"I think everybody got nervous last week," Keeton said. "These storms came with plenty of warnings, but it rained so hard at times that many were still left surprised by what Mother Nature can do."

Chandler police have released the identity of a motorcyclist killed early Sunday morning after hitting the rear of an SUV.
The victim is identified as 22-year-old Anthony Chavez. He died at a local trauma center.
The crash occurred at 2 a.m. as Chavez was traveling eastbound on Warner Road near Commanche at an estimated speed of 90 mph, twice the posted legal limit, officers said.
The motorcycle slammed into the back of the SUV, and the impact threw Chavez a considerable distance, according to investigators.
Three people in the SUV were not hurt.
The motorcycle then struck a light pole, knocking it over into the street.
Police said the accident created an 80-yard-long debris field.
Police said it's believed Chavez was impaired.

A board of trustees that spent public money on alcohol and pricey meals may soon lose some of its members. A Louisiana House committee passed a bill Thursday that would alter the make-up of the New Orleans Fire Fighter's Pension & Relief Fund.
Two board members face state ethics charges following our "Playing With Fire" investigative series.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu's chief administrative officer detailed many of the findings in our series of reports.
"There are ethics issues with regard to certain activities of the board members themselves, in terms of board members drawing salaries as CEO's," CAO and Deputy Mayor Andy Kopplin said, "Those salaries doubled in 2010. Very generous benefits… and again, those investigations are continuing."
The board's CEO, Richard Hampton, has been charged by the state's Board of Ethics. And the inspector general is investigating questionable purchases on the public credit card.
"Few controls on credit card use… again, the legislative auditor would have a field day with this," Kopplin said. "All but one board members have credit cards. No formal policy of approving expenses."
Questionable investment decisions have led to the Fire Pension Board losing millions of dollars.
Kopplin told the committee, "Why is change important? Because of questionable investment decisions, because the city has little role on the board, and because board governance is unbalanced."
The Landrieu administration urged the House Retirement Committee to hand over control of the fund to the city. Right now it's managed by a board that's mostly made up of current and retired firefighters.
But Representative Jeff Arnold (D-New Orleans) cautioned the committee, telling them that years ago the city controlled firefighters' retirements.
"That is why this system was created," Arnold said. "In 1967, they bankrupted the original firefighters system that was run by the City of New Orleans. They cannibalized it."
This week, the non-profit group Bureau of Governmental Research came out in support of the bill that would hand over control to the city.
When Committee Vice-Chairman Kirk Talbot (R-River Ridge) asked Hampton whether both the BGR report and our own investigation was simply wrong, Hampton replied, "You used the term 'spin doctor'… I won't use that term, but I'll tell you, the mayor and the administration has done a wonderful job of amassing a lot of resources to say a lot of things they were saying for them."
With four votes for, five against, the Retirement Committee voted against handing over the fund to the city.
"We are absolutely afraid and need your legislative oversight," said Nick Felton, a board trustee.
But the committee did make some changes. Right now, the board is comprised of five current and three retired firefighters, along with two people from the city. The bill passed Thursday reduces the number of firefighters to two current and two retired, essentially giving the city more control.
The committee also passed a bill that ups the amount of money firefighters contribute to the retirement system. Right now they give 6 percent of their salaries until they reach 20 years of service, at which point they contribute nothing. The committee's bill would require all firefighters to contribute 10 percent -- that will be phased in over the next few years.
Representatives from the New Orleans Fire Department at the meeting strongly opposed the city taking control, so the no vote for that bill was a big win for the firefighters.
The measure requires the approval of the full House and the Senate before it becomes law.

Can hybrid television redefine Australian TV? - The consumer experienceTomorrow sees the launch of Freeview Plus, the long-awaited industry hybrid broadcast/IPTV service. Ahead of the launch, Mumbrella's Nic Christensen talked to Freeview and the five major TV networks, in this two part special, to look at how it might impact the medium and the wider industry. It's 2019 and 32-year-old Eve from Kirribilli in Sydney comes home late from work. As she settles on the sofa after a long day in the office she flicks on the TV, and realises she has missed the season premiere of her favourite US TV drama series. Years ago Eve could have caught up on her tablet or computer, but the major TV networks would have made her wait until the program had finished broadcasting and then a little time waiting for it to be made live online, as well as limiting her to their broadcast schedule.
What do clients want?With several of Australia's biggest media accounts coming up for tender and many changing hands this year David Spasovic looks at what is causing so many client-agency relationships to fracture. A cursory glance at the recent stories, opinion pieces and comments in the trade press present an image of significant rumblings of discontent in our industry. A quick count of media relationships that are or have recently been reviewed is evidence of this - Woolworths, Federal Government, Lion, Diageo, Nestle and CBA are a few accounts that fall into this category.
National security bills compound existing threats to media freedomAs the government considers changes to national security legislation Keiran Hardy looks at what today's proposals would mean for the media if implemented, in a cross-posting from The Conversation. The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) will publish its report on the National Security Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 1) 2014 (Cth) sometime during this sitting of parliament. The bill, introduced in the last sitting of parliament, has attracted significant criticism for the potential impact of proposed offences on media outlets. The main fear, fuelled by the fallout from the WikiLeaks and Snowden affairs, is that journalists could be imprisoned for reporting intelligence abuses or mistakes revealed by a "whistleblowing" intelligence officer, even when doing so would be in the public interest.
Why banner ads must dieWith publishers struggling to monetise digital and marketers unable to achieve cut through John McLean argues it's time to ditch banner ads and get collaborating. In a medium infatuated and necessitated by innovation, display advertising has been criminally bereft of it since it's inception 20 years ago. The first banner ad appeared in Wired Magazine in 1994* and little has changed since around 2000 when rich media placements became more common due to better connection speeds.
The hard news equation, and why it matters to BuzzfeedWith Buzzfeed pushing to be recognised as a news site Ciaran Norris looks at why it matters for new online media outlets to be seen as serious. Every morning on its News Breakfast show the ABC runs through the major stories on the front pages of the day's newspapers, covering everything from the Sydney Morning Herald to The Age, the Daily Telegraph to The Mercury. But it has also, for some time, included the homepage of the Australian version of The Guardian which differs from the rest of the organisations included because it has no printed version.
How much do we really know about privacy on Facebook?In this cross-posting from The Conversation Michael Cowling asks whether the recent controversy over the Facebook Messenger app shows people have reached the limit of what information they're willing to give away to companies. The recent furore about the Facebook Messenger app has unearthed an interesting question: how far are we willing to allow our privacy to be pushed for our social connections? In the case of the Facebook Messenger app, the answer appears to be: "Not as far as Facebook thinks." For those who are not yet on Facebook (yes, there are some), the social media giant has been asking all users who want to continue sending messages to their Facebook friends on their mobile devices to download a Facebook Messenger app. Facebook is preparing to stop the chat feature on its main Facebook app.
Will instant messaging eat social networks?Instant messaging is the new digital battle ground. Daniel Young looks at what impact this battle might have for the traditional social networks. The social media landscape is changing, again, and the new players are demanding brands shift their mindset - from being human to getting personal.
The Woolworths media pitch: a case study on how not to treat agenciesIn the wake of the decision by retailer Woolworths to retain Carat as its media agency, Mumbrella's Nic Christensen asks if the much-maligned pitch for the $240m account is a case study in how clients should not treat their agencies. It's funny how history has a habit of repeating itself, but you'd like to think the marketing world would occasionally learn a trick or two. Some of the decisions in the process which led to the decision by Woolworths to keep its mammoth media account at Carat certainly make you wonder what goes through the minds of some clients when they pitch.
What I learned from debating science with trollsIn this cross-posting from The Conversation science astronomer Michael J. I. Brown shares his experiences in debating with and challenging online trolls. I often like to discuss science online and I'm also rather partial to topics that promote lively discussion, such as climate change, crime statistics and (perhaps surprisingly) the big bang. This inevitably brings out the trolls. "Don't feed the trolls" is sound advice, but I've ignored it on occasion – including on The Conversation and Twitter – and I've been rewarded. Not that I've changed the minds of any trolls, nor have I expected to.
Most 'big data' marketing is a waste of time, and here's whyUsing big data to look at past trends is not the best way to work out what your customers want, argues Peter Swan of the UNSW Australia Business School in this cross-posting from The Conversation. A passer-by happens upon a drunk searching for a lost wallet under a streetlight. With nothing in plain sight, the passer-by asks "Where did you drop your wallet?". "Over there," gestures the drunk across the street, "but I'm looking here because this is where the light is."
When newspaper managements 'back' themselvesThis has been a bad week for the newspaper industry, says Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes As far as Australian newspapers go, this has been a most disillusioning week. I love 'em - but jeez, they make it hard.
It ain't weak to speak - how I dealt with depressionAfter the tragic news of Robin Williams' death after a struggle with depression Oli Shawyer shares the story of his battle with the black dog, and how talking about it helped him beat it. The news of Robin Williams rocked me to my core yesterday. I didn't know the man personally but there is something so profoundly tragic about a comedian, someone whose job it is to make us laugh every day, suffering so intensely. To be fair, it's a testament to how fucked up depression really is – that it can somewhat delude a man beloved by so many people, into deciding that he is better off dead.
Digital copyright protection – some success, but mostly failureIn this cross-posting from The Conversation Nicholas Sheppard of Victoria University explores what measures have so far been tried, and failed, to stop copyright infringement and piracy. There's been a bit of talk recently about getting internet service providers (ISPs) involved in the enforcement of copyright law. The federal Attorney-General and Minister for Communications recently released an Online Copyright Infringement Discussion Paper in the belief that "even where an ISP does not have a direct power to prevent a person from doing a particular infringing act, there still may be reasonable steps that can be taken by the ISP to discourage or reduce online copyright infringement". Exactly what might be "reasonable steps" and how they might be funded are among the subjects up for discussion. Critics fear that it means turning ISPs into copyright police.
Which job in advertising gives the most ROI?In this guest post, Darren Woolley wonders which role in an agency – creative, media, digital, planning or account management – is the most valuable to the client. In benchmarking the cost of an ad agency's staff, you generally find that the rate a client pays is commensurate with the experience or seniority of the resource. But the question of value goes beyond just cost to determining the return on the investment. So in considering the value we need to balance the cost of the resource against how much they contribute to the ROI.
Calling bullshit on John Oliver's attack on native advertisingYesterday satirist John Oliver launched a blistering attack on native advertising describing it as "repurposed bovine waste". In this guest post, content marketing specialist Richard Parker calls bullshit on Oliver's argument. I'm usually a big fan of John Oliver. What's not to like? The lefty credentials? The anti-Fox news stance? The fact that he's from Birmingham? But his latest piece vilifying native advertising leaves me a bit cold.

A ticket controversy at a local theatre company has sparked allegations of discrimination. The theatre is accused of overcharging for certain seats.
Matt Gausman says he had a front row seat to what he claims is an unfair and illegal practice.
"I was going to buy two tickets to a December show for my birthday," Gausman told FOX 5.
The show A Midsummer Night's Dream was playing at D.C.'s Shakespeare Theatre, a slice of Broadway here in the city. After all, it's a regional theatre Tony award winner.
But Gausman can't just sit anywhere. He's disabled and uses a wheelchair.
"I was born with spina bifida, it's a congenital defect," Gausman explained. "I'm paralyzed from about the middle of my knees down."
The theatre's Sidney Harman Hall has 774 seats, but only 13 are wheelchair accessible. He found two seats right next to each other for himself and a friend. One was wheelchair accessible the other was not. And that wasn't the only difference.
"This one here is $83. The one immediately next to it is $63," he showed FOX 5 on the theatre's website.
It was a sizable $20 difference in price for the accessible seat. He found other accessible seats too, priced higher than regular seats in the same row and same section.
"If they're going to dictate the price I must pay and that price is higher than other choices that would be available to me if I was able bodied, I find that unfair," Gausman complained.
Gausman believes the theatre's pricing for disabled patrons is discriminatory and a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
According to the Department of Justice, in charge of enforcing the ADA, "Venues cannot charge higher prices for accessible seats than for non-accessible seats in the same seating section."
And Gausman says he was definitely being charged more.
"We're talking about a civil rights issue," he said.
The head of the National Disability Rights Network agrees.
"We don't believe that is appropriate and in keeping with the law," said Curtis Decker, the group's executive director and a longtime disability advocate.
The organization was part of the coalition that fought for the ADA's passage. He is disappointed to still see cases like this 24 years later and says there's no excuse.
"We're asking them to simply offer the seat to a person with disability at the price that any other theater goer would have in a regular seat," he said.
The Shakespeare Theatre claims the ticket pricing is not discriminatory, but simply a result of what it calls demand pricing. It charges premium prices within the same section based on location and popularity, such as seats on the aisle or with better views. The accessible seat Gausman wanted to purchase is in one of those areas.
"I understand theatres are coming up with all kinds of ways to try and increase their income," Decker said. "But they can't do it on the backs of people with disabilities."
The non-profit theater receives federal and local grants. This year, the National Endowment for the Arts gave it a $50,000 grant. Another $156,000 in grants came from D.C.'s Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
But regardless of whether its money comes from public or private funding, the 6-year-old theatre's Sydney Harman Hall must comply with the ADA.
"I think it's a willful disregard for the disabled community<' Gausman said. "I think they should publicly apologize to the disabled community at large."
A theatre representative had agreed to go on camera with FOX 5, but later chose to send a statement instead.
"We at the Shakespeare Theatre Company pride ourselves on offering accessible options to our patrons and persons with disabilities," it said in part. "The Shakespeare Theatre Company offers accessible seats in all price zones for all performances."
That doesn't appear to be entirely true. FOX 5 checked its ticket pricing and found shows with no seats for the disabled at the lowest price. In June, for example, $55 is the cheapest ticket for a weekend performance of Coriolanus, but there was no ticket at that price that was wheelchair accessible.
The ADA requirements specifically state "venues must offer accessible seats in all price categories available to the public."
The National Disability Rights Network believes this just shows defending ADA will always be a fight.
"You have to be vigilant, 24 years later, that the promise of ADA really happens for all people with disabilities," Decker said.
The Department of Justice takes ADA complaints and reviews them all. But even in cases where there is a violation, the agency says it can't investigate or prosecute them all because it lacks enough resources.
Gausman filed a complaint in January after giving the theatre two months to change its pricing. Aside from an acknowledgment, he has not received any further response from DOJ.
He never bought the tickets. For him it's not just about the $20, it's the principal of the matter.
"They are placing their profit margin over what people have a right to expect and really what their legal obligations are," he said.
Gausman isn't insisting the theatre lower the price of the wheelchair accessible seat. If it raised the price of regular seats in the same section, that would work too, so long as the prices were equal. Given his experience though, he says it's lights out for this theatre and doesn't believe he'll ever go back.
Full statement from Shakespeare Theatre Company:
We at the Shakespeare Theatre Company pride ourselves on offering accessible options to our patrons and persons with disabilities. Both Sidney Harman Hall and the Lansburgh Theatre offer sign-interpreted and audio-described performances, wheelchair-accessible seating and restrooms, audio enhancement and Braille and large print programs.
Prices vary depending on seating location and popularity, with aisle seats being priced at a premium for all patrons, not because they are accessible seats. The Shakespeare Theatre Company offers accessible seats in all price zones for all performances.

---- — KEENE VALLEY — Japanese knotweed takes the spotlight during an upcoming workshop on invasive species in the Adirondack Park.
Invasive-plant experts from across the region will be on hand Monday, Aug. 5, as part of the Japanese Knotweed Management Summit: Taking Action in the Adirondacks workshop at Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek.
"Over the years, our partners in the Adirondack Park have held conferences focused on a variety of topics," said Hilary Smith, director of the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program.
"This year's focus (Japanese knotweed) is one of the most aggressive invasive species in the park. It spreads quickly and is very difficult to control."
Japanese knotweed invades river and stream banks, impacting native plants, fish and wildlife, Smith said. Dense infestations can clog drainage ditches and also reduce visibility along roadways.
"It's affecting homeowners, transportation officials and natural-resource managers," she said. "The workshop will provide an opportunity to share our thoughts on best management practices."
Infestations in the Adirondack Park are at a stage where an aggressive management plan can be effective, she added.
"If you leave the region, you can see where this plant has spread for miles. If we can engage communities, we can prevent that kind of infestation."
The Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program is working with landowners in 16 communities to attack the plant where it stands.
"We're seeing great success from our management practices on public lands and private lands," Smith said. "Together, it's a great model for being able to address the problems caused by this species."
The most effective way to treat Japanese knotweed has been with herbicides, Smith said. Workers use an injection gun to place herbicide into the stem of the knotweed, killing it with minimal impact on non-target species.
The upcoming summit will feature presentations on the distribution of Japanese knotweed and the status of management efforts in the region.
Topics will also cover control options, prevention measures and more.
Land managers, transportation professionals, community leaders, industry professionals, state and local government staff, nonprofit organizations and landowners will all benefit from the workshop, Smith said.
Email Jeff Meyers:email@example.com
To register for the Aug. 5 workshop, set for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., call Allie Smith at 668-5773 or email firstname.lastname@example.com by July 22.

In recognition of Black History Month, the University of Baltimore's Spotlight UB live performance series will host UB's fifth annual African-American Arts Festival, Feb. 20-22. It will feature singer/songwriter QueenEarth, Lenneal Henderson's one-man show about U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the Baltimore City College Choir, a night of social justice poetry, and a performance of The Core Ensemble's Of Ebony Embers. The festival is co-sponsored by the UB Diversity & Culture Center, PNC Bank and the Masters of Public Administration Student Association. Unless otherwise indicated, all events will be held in the Wright Theater in the UB Student Center, 21 W. Mt. Royal Ave.
QueenEarth first graced the Spotlight UB stage at the University's first Across Words event a few years ago, and she kicked off the 2012 African-American Arts Festival as well. In addition to her work as a singer/songwriter, she is also a guitarist, emcee, and beatboxer. Her solo EP, Introducing ... QueenEarth, serves as a preview of her upcoming full-length debut, Adult Contemporary. She will begin this year's festival with a free acoustic performance on the second floor of UB's Student Center on Wednesday, Feb. 20 at noon.
Also that day, at 6:30 p.m., the UB student club MPASA fundraiser will feature the gospel music of the Baltimore City College Choir, a poetry reading and a performance by UB faculty Lenneal Henderson of his one-man show about Thurgood Marshall.

Lewis Museum of Maryland African-American History and Culture in Baltimore, including his Marshall show and a show about the musician Cab Calloway. The BCC choir, led by Linda R. Hall, artistic director, has delighted audiences on television and radio, and has shared the stage with Marin Alsop, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Yo-Yo Ma, and the Baltimore Choral Arts Society. As a fundraiser, the evening is open to the public on a pay-what-you-can basis. The performances will be followed by a light reception.
On Thursday, Feb. 21st at 7 p.m. (also the 48th anniversary of the assassination of civil rights leader Malcolm X), local members of Baltimore's legendary spoken word arts movement will appear as a festival highlight. Ron Kipling Williams, Bashi Rose, Slangston Hughes and Daniel Wilson will host a night of social justice-themed poetry, entitled "Voices of Thunder." An open mic will follow their powerful performances. Tickets for this event are $5 general admission and free for students.
The festival concludes on Friday, Feb. 22 at 2 p.m. when PNC Bank presents The Core Ensembles' production, Of Ebony Embers, a series of vignettes exploring the Harlem Renaissance with music and stories. Of Ebony Embers, a chamber music theater work for actor and trio (cello, piano and percussion), celebrates the lives of great African-American poets Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen and Claude McKay as seen through the eyes of muralist and painter Aaron Douglas. The performance is free to the public and will be followed by a light reception.
These events, as with most Spotlight UB events, takes place at the Wright Theater, 21 W. Mt. Royal Ave. Reduced rate parking is available on event nights at UB's Maryland Avenue Garage, located on Maryland Avenue between Biddle and Chase streets, or at the Fitzgerald Garage on Oliver Street; a voucher will be provided at the box office, and the UB shuttle is available to transport patrons between the venue and the garage.
The University of Baltimore is a member of the University System of Maryland and comprises the College of Public Affairs, the Merrick School of Business, the UB School of Law and the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences.

Caitlin Gunderson, a 2013 graduate of Powers Lake High School, recently returned home after 81 days in Uganda, this being her second trip.
Fellow parishioners at Bethel Baptist Church are planning a trip of their own to Uganda in July of 2015, namely Mike and Nicole Fraunfelter; Alan and Melissa Klitzke, Logan and Larissa; Sue Gunderson; Tate Enget; Wayne Fisbie and Jeremy Premo. They will join Caitlin, who will be returning earlier for another three month stay.
The volunteers will be in Uganda for two weeks, working at the orphanage under the Heart for Uganda program. They will be visiting families in the sponsorship program, bringing needed supplies such as soap, food and flour.
They will also help build houses using bamboo and mud; as well as making hospital visitations and praying.
A big event while there will be Children�s Day which Mike Fraunfelter took part in when he was there in 2013.
Burke County Department Heads Present
Proposed Budgets to Commissioners
By Lyann Olson
The Department Heads met with the Burke County Commissioners at their regular meeting Tuesday, Aug. 19 with their proposed budgets for 2015.
Most heads requested a 5% pay increase, $100.00/month.
Auditor Jeanine Jensen reported that health care is projected to increase by 14%. Jensen will use 4%, $100/mo. and see where the budget lands.
�I will do my best to keep it under the zero increase number of mills,� stated Jensen.
Marla MacBeth, Planning & Zoning has been classified as a clerk since she began working for the county. Auditor Jensen brought it to the Board�s attention that the salary should be brought into line with a department head salary level.
Sheriff Michael Cude asked to increase the travel budget for vehicle maintenance, $2500/vehicle, and deputies� pay by $2000. A budget line will be needed for the canines, including $10,000 for food, vet and training; as well as funds for the handler, $26,280.
Treasurer, Hazel Herman asked to double her postage as a new tax statement has been adopted statewide that requires one page per parcel and her mailing costs will increase considerably.
Extension agent, Dan Folske noted that Shelbey Jacobson�s salary will be lower than previously employed, Peggy Anderson, due to years of service. He would like to bring his secretary�s wages up to a deputy level.
For the Weed Board, due to equipment repair costs, Folske increased that line item by $2500.
States Attorney requested a $25 increase in postage; Auditor, $200 in office supplies; and Director of Tax, $50 for phone, $100 for supplies; $2000 for equipment, and funds for Vision West meetings.
Penny Dorner, maintenance, requested a storage shed for her groundskeeper which the Commissioners okayed. She increased grounds keeping and courthouse maintenance and utilities for a total of $10,000.

�Blackmail is an act involving unjustified threats to make a gain or cause loss to another unless a demand is met. It may be defined as coercion involving threats of public exposure, physical harm, criminal prosecution or for the purposes of taking the person�s money or property.�
(Courtesy of: Wikipedia and Merriam Webster)
Under federal law, blackmail is considered a serious crime. It�s a statutory offense, in the same league as burglary, embezzlement and forgery. We�re talking major stuff here. I never would have predicted I�d be accused of blackmail. Especially not by my children.
But it happened this week, when I suggested that my son go outside. And play.
Yeah. Can you believe I had the audacity, the nerve and the gall to suggest such an atrocity? During summer vacation nonetheless. What was I thinking?
His response to my proposal was nonchalant. He told me he was taking a break from playing outside. Like kids are allowed to do that.
My response was non-nonchalant, and (I think) fairly clever. I told him a break from outside play would be accompanied by a break from inside video games. It sounded logical to me.
To him, it sounded like blackmail. At least that�s what he said, �You�re blackmailing me!�
I was a little impressed. He�s only 12 and he already has the vocabulary and quick-thinking skills needed to accuse his mother of a felony. Other proud parents can perhaps relate.
There was one tiny flaw in his statement. Just because someone cries blackmail does not mean a crime has been committed. My actions didn�t constitute blackmail, which involves unjustified threats. (See opening sentence.) My threats were thoroughly, completely and utterly justified. It is right and reasonable for a mom to expect her kids to play outside. Therefore, my demands were warranted and well within the scope of my mom-powers.
Besides, parents commit crimes all the time. It�s practically in our job description. Bribery during potty training is as common as Cheerios in the toilet. Perjury involving fairies and other holiday characters happens in houses everywhere. According to my teens everything I do in public constitutes disorderly conduct. My husband and I routinely commit conspiracy on the days leading up to each child�s birthday as we try to keep our secrets secret.
Money laundering occurs just about every time I wash a load. And who among us hasn�t felt like a parenting fraud at least once or twice a week?
But back to my perceived act of blackmail: as far as access to video games goes, I explained to my child that rewards in life must be earned. No one gives you a paycheck if you don�t punch the time clock. His paycheck � in this case video games � was contingent on his being a normal little boy and playing outside. We all should be so lucky.
My son didn�t see the luck in his situation. He considered debating this with me but then took a look out the window. It was a warm afternoon. The sun was shining. Summer beckoned. And at the end of the day, video games or not, he is an energy-filled, nature-loving 12-year-old boy. Even our plugged-in, powered-up, social-networked culture can�t change that.
Thank goodness.
So he went outside. And he played. He shot hoops and worked on his golf swing. Later, some friends wandered over and soon they were hiding and seeking in the backyard. They came in for a drink of water and said they were meeting another group of friends at a nearby park to play football.
As my son turned to leave, I asked, �Do you want to take your phone?�
�Nah,� he said nonchalantly. �I won�t need it.�
I waved goodbye. As they headed down the driveway, I called out, �Be home in time for supper!�
He waved back. �I will!�
Blackmail or no, it had turned into a pretty good day. I smiled and went back into the kitchen, contemplating future crimes I�d yet to commit.

HALF-TIME: Brighton 1, Burnley 0
3:53pm Saturday 23rd February 2013 in News
BURNLEY go into half-time a goal down at the AMEX Stadium, after making it too easy for Brighton to break the deadlock.
Gus Poyet's side had looked most dangerous down the left from the off, and it was from Wayne Bridge's ball into the box that the Seagulls were able to capitalise.
The delivery was flicked on in the box to an unmarked David Lopez, who side-footed home across Lee Grant.
The Clarets came close to equalising from two corners – the first headed down by Kevin Long and off the line by Gary Dicker, the second well saved by Tomasz Kuszczak after Jason Shackell looked certain to score with a downwards far post header.
But Brighton found another gear before the break, with Andrea Orlandi and Wayne Bridge combining down the left to put some dangerous deliveries into the Clarets' penalty box.
Leonardo Ulloa missed a glorious chance, somehow turning over Orlandi's cross from close range.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A new poll finds broad support for recently-enacted tax hikes on wealthy Minnesotans and cigarette smokers.
The Star Tribune's Minnesota Poll shows 58 percent of respondents support the tax increase on upper-income earners included in Gov. Mark Dayton's budget and backed by the DFL. Thirty-six percent oppose the tax. Even more respondents, 64 percent, favor a $1.60 per pack hike in the cigarette tax. Thirty-two percent oppose it.
House and Senate Republicans say the tax increases that will raise more than $2 billion over the next two years will hurt the state's fragile economy. Both taxes passed the Legislature in May and have been signed into law by Dayton.
The phone poll of 800 adult Minnesotans was taken June 11-13. It has an error margin of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

As I continue to consider the impending U.S. Senate vacancy, many have discussed the possibility of a... fb.me/2i9ByYHyb—
Nikki Haley (@nikkihaley) December 10, 2012
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley announced on Twitter and Facebook that she will not appoint a "placeholder" to serve in the Senate for only two years. Here is her full statement:
As I continue to consider the impending U.S. Senate vacancy, many have discussed the possibility of a 'placeholder' appointee who would pledge to serve for only two years and not seek election to the seat in 2014. While there are some good arguments in favor of that approach, I believe the better case is against it.
I do not want to tie the next U.S. Senator from South Carolina's hands regarding future office. I do not want to deprive our state's citizens of the chance to render their judgment on the appointee's performance by way of their vote. Most importantly, while I am an avid supporter of term limits, I do not want the effectiveness of our state's new U.S. Senator to be undermined by the fact that he or she will automatically be leaving the office such a very short time after assuming it.
I believe South Carolina will be best served by a U.S. Senator who will work hard day in and day out, and put him or herself before the voters at the soonest possible time. Accordingly, I reject the option of a 'placeholder.'
Haley's rejection of a 'placeholder' appointee has Twitter abuzz with speculation about what her statement really means.

when ESo launched, if any quest was bugged, everyone complained about it, in game chats, on message boards.. even to their grandmas
in Wildstar.. no one really mentions them, until someone comes across one, see nothing about them on the message boards i've gone too, and those who encountered them ingame had little to no reaction to them.
