The team has been working hard on the new build for the last few months, and now that the last of our big tickets are being addressed I have a little time for a blog post
In addition to working on the actual application, I often have a chance to work with Konductor and create sites for use on our own system. (We've been dogfooding www.konductor.net since day one) I thought it might be nice to put together a list of hints and tips that we've found useful in creating sites for Kondcutor, which should help you to focus on designing beautiful sites and getting them online as fast as possible.
- Write semantic code. Basically this means use your HTML to organize your content logically, then use the CSS to place it. Make the CSS do all the work, and use relevant tags for relevant data (ie. use styled h1-h6 elements for headings, not styled divs. Use styled p elements for paragraphs, not styled divs. Use styled lists for menus, not styled divs) This will not only make your content easiers to style, but also will help with SEO. Reference: http://sixrevisions.com/css/css-tips/css-tip-2-structural-naming-convention-in-css/
- Become a CSS ninja. This will make your job that much easier. This doesn't mean you have to know everything there is to know about CSS; just learn some best practices, and learn some techniques used to solve common tasks. Reference: http://sixrevisions.com/css/100-exceedingly-useful-css-tips-and-tricks/
- A little jQuery can go a long way. This may sound scary, but this doesn't mean you have to learn everything about jQuery in order to use it effectively. There are many prepackaged modules out there to help you integreate with galleries, video sites, pull in RSS data, and perform all kinds of dynamic data manipulation. Reference: http://designm.ag/resources/28-fresh-jquery-tutorials/
Another tool that can provide some excellent suggestions is the Google Page Speed Online. This will give practical suggestions on how you can structure your site and it's code n order to get the most out of your website.
We will post up another article soon looking at some CSS grid systems and HTML5 elements that can make your web pages quicker and more relevant.

Official Website
Your texted jokes appearing on screen! Sharks flying around inside the theater!
It's the ultimate SHARKNADO adventure!!
The Asylum took the world by storm this summer - literaly - when they released a new kind of disaster movie based solely on the idea of taking two awesome words and making them more awesome by smashing them together - SHARKNADO!
After debuting on the SyFy Channel and dominating everything on the Internet and social media during the week of its initial release, SHARKNADO had a limited theatrical run in regular movie theaters via the good people at Fathom Entertainment. But while people have experienced tornados full of sharks on the big screen before, no one has experienced like this!
We're bringing HeckleVision back for this very special screening, and that means that you'll be able to use your phone to text jokes that will appear directly on screen along with Tara Reid, Ian Ziering and a whole bunch of sharks! But that's not all.
This being an Action Pack show, we wouldn't want to leave all of the action up on the screen. Just like we normally have props and confetti and other fun things like that at our Quote-Along events, we're going to have special live action elements in the theater during this show, too. What live action elements, you ask? FLYING SHARKS. In. The. Theater.
Yeah, that's right. When the SHARKNADO is flying around on screen destroying everything in the movie, we're going to have actual sharks* flying around INSIDE THE THEATER destroying everyone in the audience!
Whether you've been a fan of The Asylum's awesomeness since MEGASHARK VS GIANT OCTOPUS or whether you've never seen any of their modern masterpiece creature features, this SHARKNADO experience at the Alamo is not to be missed. Start exercising your thumbs now, because you're going to need megafast reaction time to get all the jokes from your brain through your phone and onto our screen fast enough. The Action Pack is bringing SHARKNADO to your neighborhood Alamo Drafthouse in HeckleVision, and the world may never be the same again. (Henri Mazza)
*okay, so we're actually just going to get those remote control shark balloons, but still! It should be all sorts of awesome and fun.

A Watertown man was held on $10,000 bail after allegedly stabbing another man in the chest Wednesday afternoon near Franklin Street and Flower Avenue East.
Frank L. Cooley Jr., 25, of 373 Flower Ave. E., was charged by city police with second-degree assault in the stabbing of Michael J. Campaney, 45, of 819 Academy St.
Arraigned Thursday morning in Watertown City Court, Mr. Cooley said little as he pleaded not guilty to the charge, only requesting a public defender. He said nothing as he was led to a patrol car after his initial court appearance.
Minutes earlier in the courtroom, a person who came to support Mr. Cooley left in tears after she was informed of the amount of his bail. Several people declined to speak with the Times outside of the courthouse.
Mr. Campaney remains stable in a Syracuse hospital, police said. He was stabbed in the upper left torso in the incident, which took place shortly before 5 p.m.
Police are still investigating the incident, Detective Sgt. Joseph R. Donoghue said.
The two men were arguing when the dispute became physical, he said.
The two men are acquaintances, he said. I would not say theyre friends. They know of each other.
Mr. Cooley was charged in 2005, when he was 16, with threatening an 11-year-old boy with a knife.
The charge then was reckless endangerment.
Detective Donoghue said police have an idea what the two men were arguing about but declined to comment on what set off the stabbing.
Mr. Campaney was taken by ambulance to the town of Watertown highway building, then flown by LifeNet helicopter to Syracuse.
Tammy R. Clemons, who lives across the street from the residence where the incident was reported, said she heard hollering and came out of her Flower Avenue East apartment to see what was happening.
I cant believe this happened in broad daylight, she said Wednesday.

Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Generating Station Unit 2 resumed producing electricity at 2:26 PM EST Wednesday, March 10 following a planned maintenance outage.
Pottstown, Pennsylvania – Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Generating Station Unit 2 resumed producing electricity at 2:26 PM EST Wednesday, March 10 following a planned maintenance outage.
The Unit 2 generator was taken offline at 5:38 AM Tuesday, March 9 to allow station personnel to make repairs to the Stator Water Cooling (SWC) system on the non-nuclear side of the plant. The SWC provides cooling water to several components within the turbine generator.
"Station personnel have safely completed all of the necessary repairs," said Chris Mudrick, Limerick site vice president. "These repairs were necessary to ensure reliability through the remainder of our operating cycle, especially the peak summer period."
Limerick Unit 1 continued to generate electricity during the Unit 2 maintenance outage. Limerick Generating Station is located approximately 21 miles northwest of Philadelphia. With both units at full power, the site can produce enough carbon-free electricity for 2 million homes.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Ready to step up your beauty game? We've put together five expert makeup tutorials that cover everything you need to master for spring: bright eyeliner, glowing skin, a navy smoky eye, a bold lip, and colorful shadow. Click through our slideshow for the tips and tricks used on Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, and more!
5 Must-Try Celeb Makeup Tutorials
- 1 of 37
Scarlett Johansson may be glowing because of her new pregnancy right now, but back in September, it was thanks to a perfectly executed beauty look. Makeup artist Caroline Saulnier gave the actress dewy, lit-from-within skin for the Venice Film Festival.
- 2 of 37
Makeup artist Caroline Saulnier applied Dolce & Gabbana's Perfect Finish Creamy Foundation ($66) with a flat brush, then used the brand's The Illuminator Powder ($50) in Eva to set the actress' skin and provide a radiant sheen. "Dust onto your cheeks, chin, and the bridge of your nose," Saulnier says. (Try Maybelline's Mineral Powder Illuminator ($6) in Nude for a similar result.)
- 3 of 37
Glowing skin is the most important part of this look, so Saulnier used the same large powder brush to dust Dolce & Gabbana's Luminous Cheek Color ($45) in Rosebud along the actress' cheekbones.
- 4 of 37
Smudge a black kohl pencil (try Sephora's Contour Eye Pencil ($9) in Black Lace) into the roots of your top lashline, then apply a line of the deepest hue from the Dolce & Gabbana's Eyeshadow Quad ($67) in Desert. "It creates a softer look," Saulnier says. Revlon's Custom Eyes Duo Shadow and Liner Palette ($8) in Naturally Glamorous will work, too!
- 5 of 37
To further define Johansson's eyes and brows, Saulnier turned to the same palette. "Carve out the lids with a round, soft-bristle brush using the lightest tint in the inner corner of the eye, the medium one in the natural crease of the eyelid, and the boldest color on the brow bone," she says. A few coats of black mascara finished the actress' eyes.
- 6 of 37
To create a "discrete contour," Saulnier applied the Dolce & Gabbana's The Lipliner ($30) in Nude all over the actress' pout, then dabbed on the brand's Ultra-Shine Lipgloss ($31) in Innocence. You can get a similar look with Tarte's Universal Lip Liner ($18) under L'Oreal's Infallible Lip Gloss ($10) in Pink Topaz.
- 7 of 37
For the Los Angeles premiere of Keira Knightley's film Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, makeup artist Kate Lee gave the actress a matte, navy blue smoky eye. Keep clicking for the how-to!
- 8 of 37
Lee prepped the actress' skin with a rich moisturizer—Chanel's Hydra Beauty Creme Riche ($87)—then dabbed the brand's Vitalumière Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Sunscreen Makeup ($45) only where needed coverage and brushed Kanebo's Sensai Collection Concealer ($33) under her eyes.
- 9 of 37
After dabbing the foundation and concealer, Lee "melted" the makeup into Knightley's skin with a Beauty Blender Sponge ($20). "Gently feather it into your skin," she says. "This sponge is great, but don't use it to apply the foundation, it's meant for blending, not application!"
- 10 of 37
Knightley's flush came courtesy of Chanel's Le Blush Crème de Chanel ($38) in Cheeky, lightly blended onto the apples of the actress' cheeks.
- 11 of 37
Lee started with Chanel's Le Crayon Khol Intense Eye Pencil ($28) in Marine, applying it along the actress' waterline, around her lashes and on her lid. Once you have the shape you want sketched out in liner, it's time to blend. Using an inward motion, Lee used Chanel's Small Eyeshadow Brush #15 ($34) to soften the line. "Squish the liner into your lashline," Lee says. "You don't want any gaps."
- 12 of 37
Lee warns that navy is a difficult color to work with in powder form, so stick to creamy formulas. (She used Chanel's Illusion D'Ombre Long Wear Eyeshadow ($36) in Apparition.) "You'll need two clean brushes," Lee says. Gently pat the shadow on your lid with one, then use a second clean brush to slowly feather the shadow up and out.
- 13 of 37
I didn't apply any lashes for this look," Lee says. "If you put false eye lashes on it will take away from the softness that you've built and look more vampy." She used one coat of Chanel's Inimitable Mascara ($30) in Noir instead.
- 14 of 37
"This looks more modern with a soft, natural brow," Lee says. She brushed Knightley's brows into place with a clean spooly brush, then a tinted gel, and finally a clear gel. She used Anastasia Beverly Hills' Tinted Brow Gel ($22) in Brunette and Clear.
- 15 of 37
Lee used Chanel's Le Rouge Coco Hydrating Crème Lip Colour ($34) in Mademoiselle on Knightley.
- 16 of 37
Oscar-winning actress and it girl Lupita Nyong'o has made a huge impact on the beauty world over the past few months, rocking one rule-breaking look after another. Here is one of her first, from the Los Angeles premiere of 12 Years as a Slave in October.
- 17 of 37
"You want to brighten a deep skintone without lightening it," makeup artist Nick Barose says, so he reached for two different shades of M.A.C.'s Pro Longwear Foundation ($31), a trick that produces a glowing effect. "Apply the lighter shade in the center of your face and the darker shade on the outside, then blend," he says.
- 18 of 37
After foundation, but before blush, Barose dusted Nyong'o's skin with Jouer's Essential Face Mattifier ($26) to cut down on shine and set the foundation, without masking her skin.
- 19 of 37
"When you create a bright eye and lip, you want your cheek to have a little color, but not look heavy," Barose says. He used Jouer's Cheek Tint ($20) in Dahlia, applied with a Beauty Blender Sponge ($20): "It looks natural and doesn't have any shimmer."
- 20 of 37
To get the winged-out shape, Barose applied Dolce & Gabbana's Glam Liner Intense Liquid Eyeliner ($34) in Black Intense to Nyong'o's top lashline, drawing the color up towards the outside of the actress' brows. He added Estee Lauder's Double Wear Stay In Place Eye Pencil ($22) to the actress' waterline, concentrating the color on the outer half of her eyes.
- 21 of 37
Once Barose had the cat eye outline, he reached for M.A.C.'s limited-edition Antonio Lopez 6 Eyes Palette in Violet. That palette is no longer available, but you can get the a similar look with the brand's Mineralize Eye Shadow Quad ($44) in A Medley of Mauves. Barose started by painting the darkest hue on the outer half of Nyong'o's lid and a lighter purple on the inner half. To maintain the cat eye shape, Barose suggests gently blending the two colors in the center, then wrap the purple around the bottom lashline with clean, thin brush.
- 22 of 37
You don't want a dramatic lash when you're wearing a colorful eye, Barose says, but you do want definition. "Choose a lengthening mascara, not thickening!" Try Maybelline's Define-A-Lash Mascara ($8).
- 23 of 37
Barose lined Nyong'o's pout with a pencil the same shade as her lips, then applied Nars x Guy Bourdin's Lipstick ($26) in Full Frontal directly from the tube. "Then add a second coat with a lip brush for more color," he says.
- 24 of 37
Not sure you can pull of a bright lip? Frame it with a full lash and pale shadow—like Michelle Dockery—and you can. Makeup artist Jordan Bree Long walks us through the on-trend look.
- 25 of 37
Try Long's trick for undetectable foundation, even in bright light: she applied Armani's Maestro Foundation ($64) with a foundation brush, then pressed it into Dockery's skin with a sponge sprayed with toner. "It helps the foundation to blend into the skin better," Long says.
Long used Beauty Blender's Sponge ($20) and Amorepacific's Time Response Skin Renewal Toner ($180).
- 26 of 37
For a flawless, natural-looking flush, Long dabbed Chanel's Le Blush Crème de Chanel ($38) in Revelation onto the apples of Dockery's cheeks, then blended with the same Beauty Blender. "This will give you a sheer tint," Long says.
- 27 of 37
Groomed, perfectly-defined brows help frame your face and make you look more put together. Long brushed Dockery's arches in place, filled them in with Anastasia Beverly Hills' Duo Brow Powder ($23), and locked them in place with Maybelline's Great Lash Clear Mascara ($5). (Try a stronger brow gel if your arches are unruly.)
- 28 of 37
The best part about using light shadow? It makes your lashes seriously pop. Long used the palest shade from Tom Ford's Eyeshadow Quad in Cocoa Mirage ($78), or try Sephora's Colorful Eyeshadow ($13) in No. 75 Sandcastle.
- 29 of 37
The trick to making such pale shadow work? Define the lashline. Long reached for L'Oreal Paris' Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner ($8) in Black. "It has such a fine tip that you can apply the thinnest line to plump up the top lashes, without making it look like liner," she says. "And it's great for day because it dries matte!"
- 30 of 37
No need to go overboard with mascara! A single coat of Dior's Diorshow Mascara ($25) in Black will do.
- 31 of 37
Now it's time for the bright lip. "This formula is incredibly creamy and stays on really well," Long says about Armani's Lip Maestro ($33) in Red Fuschia. "Plus, it won't make your lips dry."
- 32 of 37
In one of our favorite looks from the last year, makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua gave Biel a colorful, Cleopatra-inspired eye. (It's easier than you think!)
- 33 of 37
The trick to Biel's fresh skin is the light, natural finish—so skip foundation. Instead apply concealer anywhere you need coverage, then dust on a pressed powder. Bua used Chanel's Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour SPF 15 ($58), or try Maybelline's Fit Me Pressed Powder ($6).
- 34 of 37
Bua dusted Chanel's Powder Blush ($43) in Frivole onto Biel's cheeks for a healthy glow. Sephora's Colorful Blush ($15) in Apricot Sheen will work, too.
- 35 of 37
To set the groundwork for a pop of color, Bua contoured Biel's lids with Chanel's Quadra Eyeshadow ($59) in Dunes, dusting the darkest shade in the socket and the lighter shades on her lid and brow bone.
- 36 of 37
Now comes the fun part: Bua applied a thick line of blue eyeliner on Biel's bottom waterline and under her bottom lashline, extending it out into a point. She used a black eyeliner to do the same thing on top, then met the two on the outer corner. Bua used Chanel's Long Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner ($30) in Jade and Noir Intense, or try CoverGirl's Vivid Impact Eyeliner ($7) in Jade and Midnight. Finish with black mascara.
- 37 of 37
Balance a bright eye with a neutral lip, like Bua did. She applied a nude lip liner, then topped it with a rich balm. Try NYX's Slim Lip Pencil ($4) in Beige or follow Bua's lead and pick up Chanel's Precision Lip Definer ($29) in Natural.

Savages (Salvajes)
One dysfunctional family's problems hold up a mirror to larger issues of racism and misplaced patriotism in this Spanish drama. Berta (Marisa Paredes) is a nurse who is edging into middle age and looking for a husband; she also looks after the three teenage children of her recently deceased sister. Eduardo (Imanol Arias) is a hard-drinking police investigator who encounters Berta during a trip to the hospital; they hit it off and begin dating. But Berta's new romance could pose a problem for her niece, Lucia (Maria Isasi), whose boyfriend, Fausto (Jose Luis Alcobendas), has a lucrative illegal business smuggling illegal aliens from North Africa into Spain. Adding to tensions around the house, Lucia's brothers, Raul (Alberto Ferreiro) and Guillermo (Roger Casamajor), are members of an extreme right-wing group who have been implicated in the murder of an illegal immigrant from Senegal (Emilio Buale). Berta tries to ignore the ugly truth about the youngsters in her care, but when Eduardo is assigned to investigate the case of the murdered immigrant, she is forced to face the reality of her family's actions. Salvajes was the first feature film from director Carlos Molinero.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

DAMASCUS, Md. (WUSA)--It's graduation week at a lot of local high schools and that's often followed up by the tradition known as "beach week."Teenagers flock to the beach for the sun, fun and in many cases, alcohol. One young man wants to warn teenagers not to make the fatal mistakes that he did.
Dan McCoy graduated from Magruder High School and ended up in jail for one of his decisions. He says he probably drove drunk about 100 times without getting caught, until the night his luck ran out.
"I've been to jail, I've been suicidal, I've been kicked out of the Marine Corps, I've lost my license," said Dan, talkingto teenagers about the darkest moments of his 26 years.
"I could see the insides of her neck," he said. Danforces himself to remember the details of the crash he caused, by driving drunk."A 17 year-old girl's head going through your windshield, coming back through, and her neck being split open at a 45 degree angle."
As Dan told Damascus High School students, he was 19 when his life unraveled. His victim, just 17.
"Every time she would take a breath, I could hear her gurgling on her own blood," he said.
"I started shaking. I was a mess," said Sandy McCoy, Dan's mother, recalling beingawakened by a phone call at 3 am.
"He said I've been in a horrific, horrific accident and I need you to come quick," he said.
Added Dan, "I think about it every day. I think about her every day. I think about her family every day."
His parents scrambled to the scene and found their son on a stretcher.
"The first we saw him, he pulled the covers over his head. And I said, Danny! And he said Mom, you don't understand. You don't understand. I've killed somebody," she said.
In a health class at Damascus High School, Dan told the students, "If God came down to earth right now and said, 'Dan, do you want to trade places with her?' I'd do it in a heartbeat."
"And I don't think that will ever change," said Sandy, dabbing her eyes with a tissue.
In schools, students fire questions at Dan. He answers everything.
Asked a teenage boy, "You said you lost your license. Did you lose it for good?" No, he didn't.
Asked a girl, "Did you even think to tell the girl to put her seatbelt on?"
"No," said Dan. "You know why? Because I was drunk."
Another girl quietly wondered, "I'm not sure if this is too personal but did you go to her funeral?" He did not.
Dan's impact on teenagers is undeniable.
We asked how many of the teenagers would think twice in the future before drinking, and before drinking and driving.Every hand was raised.
"Seeing this regular guy," said a teenage girl of Dan, "You know it could happen to you, even though you don't think it will."
Another girl finished her sentence, "And you have to live with that for the rest of your life."
"So use me as an example," urged Dan. "I look at it as I destroyed a whole other community's lives in every way possible."
Dan and his mother spoke with us to alert other families to something they may not consider beyond the physical and emotional toll of a deadly DUI. That is the financial cost.
"I would say at least $75,000," estimated Sandy. "He had an ankle tracking device when he was on home confinement.The cost of the car. He lost his car. It was totaled."
"Probation fees, alcohol assessment fees, house arrest fees," added Dan. "MVA costs, interlock in my car cost. Lawyer fees, court cost.Restitution to the family."
And, Sandy quit her job so she could help her son through a devastating process.
Dan leaves teens with a simple message: call their parents before they drive after drinking, or get in the car with someone who has.
He asks the students, "What's the worst thing your parents are gonna do? Ground you? Take your keys away?"
To illustrate just how difficult it is to get people to absorb his potentially lifesaving message, Dan says his best friend who was with him the night of that terrible crash, got a DUI less than a month later. Three of their mutual friends were in the car.

I know that right now there are a lot of good causes and organizations that are requesting your support. And I know that a bicycling organization might not be on your top-10 list charities to support before year-end. But if you're a cyclist, and if you're reading this blog, there's a very good reason to donate to Adventure Cycling this holiday season.
When it comes to bicycle services on passenger rail, the U.S. lags behind many countries, especially in Europe. But this is changing as a partnership has formed between Adventure Cycling, Amtrak, and other bicycle and passenger-rail organizations across the country that are committed to making rail travel more bicycle friendly.

what to buy
Infant car seats are the first in a long line of car seats designed to keep children safe on the road. Designed solely for rear-facing use, infant car seats often have deep shells and ample padding to better protect and cushion small babies. They also have five-point harnesses with chest chips to keep children secure, and like most car seats, they allow for both LATCH and seat-belt installation.
Infant car seats are designed for use outside of the car, too. Unlike convertible car seats and boosters, which stay put in the car, infant car seats are lightweight and portable. Parents can detach the seat from a base they leave in their vehicle and carry it using the attached handle -- convenient for allowing a sleeping baby to continue napping. Infant car seats also have canopies to protect babies from strong sunlight, and many are compatible with strollers or stroller frames -- simply attach the car seat with a strap or special click-in adapter, and you're ready to roll.
There are a couple of other things to consider when you're picking an infant car seat: How long you want to keep your baby in the seat and how much you want to spend.
Infant car seats come with a range of height and weight capacities. While some seats allow babies as small as 4 pounds -- an important consideration for parents of premature infants -- most are approved for babies 5 pounds and up. On the upper end, most infant car seats have maximum weight limits of 22, 30 or 35 pounds and height limits from 29 to 32 inches. Higher-capacity seats will have longer lives. Some bigger babies will hit 22 pounds or 29 inches before they're a year old, but very few will hit 35 pounds or 32 inches. That buys parents extra time before they have to think about switching car seats, and it helps ensure babies remain rear-facing. However, some parents say it's a back-breaking task to carry around a bigger baby in an infant car seat, and others say their babies seem uncomfortable in infant car seats as they put on pounds. In both cases, it may make sense for parents to get rid of the infant car seat and start using a rear-facing convertible car seat sooner rather than later. Lower-weight-capacity infant car seats are widely available for under $100, while those with higher weight capacities can approach or top $200, depending on extra features.
Less expensive infant car seats are perfectly safe, but they lack extra frills. It's easy to assume a more expensive infant car seat will be safer than a cheaper model. In reality, every car seat sold in the U.S. has to pass the same federal crash tests -- even those under $100. As discussed above, less expensive seats may have lower height and weight capacities, though some parents don't see this as a con since they may not want to lug around a huge baby in an infant car seat. The seats may also be lightweight compared to more expensive models. Of course, the major downside of less-expensive seats is that they lack "extras," including features that may make installation easier, plusher padding that can keep babies comfier, or harnesses that are a snap to tighten with each use and adjust as babies grow.
Watch for recent recalls. In February 2014, Graco recalled nearly 3.8 million convertible car seats due to an issue with the buckle that makes it difficult to remove a child from the seat, increasing the risk of injury when an emergency exit from the vehicle is required. The recall was initiated at the urging of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) following reports from a number of parents. We discuss this specific recall in our section on budget car seats; however, it's worth noting here that you should never buy a used car seat. Buy new and be sure to register it, and you will be notified of any recalls.
The NHTSA has also recommended that Graco recall millions of its infant seats, something that, at the time this report went to press, Graco has declined to do. For some safe alternatives to Graco for older babies, see our report on convertible car seats. If your child is ready to move up to the next level, see our report on booster seats.
ConsumerSearch has analyzed expert and customer reviews to evaluate safety, ease of use, lifestyle factors and customer service for popular infant car seats. The result is our picks for the best infant car seats on the market.

Although reporters from communist-controlled media in China are welcome at a summit between the National Governors Association and their Chinese communist counterparts in Salt Lake City this weekend, William Jasper, senior editor for the constitutionalist magazine The New American, is not.
Read the late-breaking news about this story in "Governors' Utah summit locks out Bircher William Jasper" posted this afternoon at The Salt Lake Tribune's website.

MASSENA - Parking was at a premium Saturday night in downtown Massena when the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce held the 16th annual block dance and car, truck and motorcycle exhibit.
We had that place packed, Executive Director Michael J. Gleason said. We had a couple over in the parking lot by Rite Aid. We try to keep everything on the street, but we ran out of room.
All together, more than 100 cars, trucks and motorcycles lined Main Street between Orvis and Andrews streets. That portion of Main Street was closed starting at 4 p.m., and Mr. Gleason said some vehicle owners were already waiting before the closure.
There were actually cars there from earlier that afternoon, he said.
The streets were filled with not only classic and newer vehicles, but a crowd that enjoyed a beautiful summer night as they strolled along Main Street and listened to the sounds of Bruce LaShomb and the Boys, who were playing in front of the theater.
I was very pleased. The band was great. The turnout was great. People kept coming all night, Mr. Gleason said.
Looking at (the forecast) on Wednesday and Thursday, it was looking like a 60 percent chance of rain. I was not too thrilled about the forecast, he said.
As it turned out, the rain stayed away and sunny, breezy night kept the spectators comfortable.
I think we had probably one of the nicest days in about a month. The breeze was nice, he said.
A bounce house set up near Key Bank drew a steady crowd, as did a free photography session inside Nathan Lashombs Forevermore Studios and face painting in front of the photography business. Various vendors also set up along Main Street and the Massena Volunteer Fire Department held a chicken barbecue fundraiser, selling out all 350 chicken halves they had cooked.
The first 100 registered vehicles received a goody bag and dash plaque. Trophies were also be awarded to the Best GM, Best Mopar, Best Ford, Best Other Make, Best Motorcycle and Best In Show.
The winners were: Best GM, a 1970 Chevelle SS owned by Matt Benedict; Best Ford, a 1938 Ford Coupe owned by Steve Shorette; Best Mopar, a 1968 Dodge Charger owned by Dee Badlam, Best Other Make, a 1977 MGB owned by Darrel Raville; Best Motorcycle, a hot rod motorcycle owned by B&M Performance; and Best of Show, a 1937 Studebaker owned by Frank Howie.
Mr. Gleason said they are fortunate to have members of the former Massena Olde Car Club to help out with the show. Thanks to those members, they have established contacts to make the show bigger and better every year.
Thats what makes a difference, he said. It was most definitely a very good event.
Now the chamber is gearing up for the second annual Classic Car Show scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. July 27 at the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino. Theyll be assisting with the registration and may also help with the judging.
The casinos Classic Car Show will feature craft vendors and T-shirts for sale throughout the day, and there will be a $500 prizes for Best In Show. First, second and third place prizes will be awarded for: Vintage, Retro, Muscle GM, Muscle FORD, Muscle MOPAR, Special Interest, New - 1990 Present and Truck Pre-1970s. Weve already had a few meetings. Its going to be a big show, Mr. Gleason said.
The chamber is also continuing its Concerts in the Park series this Thursday, with Tas Cru playing from 5 to 7 p.m. at Springs Park.

SARASOTA, Florida (WFLA) - Daredevil Nik Wallenda is planning to walk a wire 180 feet above the ground in downtown Sarasota next week, without any safety harness or tether.
The walk will be a free outdoor show as Wallenda launches a three-week run at Circus Sarasota.
City leaders are also hoping to showcase Sarasota scenery as a backdrop to Wallenda's stunt.
"I wanted to do something for my hometown," Wallenda said. "My hometown has been so supportive of me."
Wallenda, a Sarasota native, comes from the famous circus family that included his great grandfather Karl Wallenda, who fell to his death during a performance in Puerto Rico in 1978.
On Tuesday, Wallenda plans to walk a wire from a crane near the city's Unconditional Surrender statue of the sailor and the nurse on Sarasota's bayfront, across the street to Marina Tower, landing on someone's balcony.
Unlike Wallenda's highly publicized walk across Niagara Falls last summer, this walk is planned without a safety tether that could catch Wallenda if he stumbles.
Wallenda says his contract for the live televised Niagara Falls walk required him to wear one, but he has made it clear he prefers to work without one.
City officials gave him a green light for the walk without the safety line, going against a staff recommendation on the issue.
Although he is outspoken about his dislike for wearing safety tethers during walks, Wallenda says he is well aware of the risks of his job.
"When you become complacent that's when something happens whether it be a gust of wind or a slip on the wire or a trip," he said "There's something that wakes you up."

By RICHARD SHAWSports editor
On Saturday night, Ute fans were very disappointed.
That seems pretty odd considering their team had just beat Big East Champion Pittsburgh in one of the four big BCS bowls, 357.
What they were disappointed in was the fact that, first, their team had no chance of winning a national championship despite a perfect 12-0 record, and two, that they had to play a team that had good talent, but didn't even match in ability some of the teams the Utes had faced during the other 11 wins.
It's been said time and time again, but the NCAA needs a playoff system for a national football champion in the bigs, similar to what they have in basketball, and what they have in the other college football divisions.
I am no dreamer about this whole thing. Despite being a Utah alumni, whoever wins the Orange Bowl on Tuesday night, whether it be Oklahoma or Southern California, both teams are probably better than the Utes, and in a playoff system, the Utes very well could have been totally out of it by now. But at least they would have had the chance to prove themselves.
In 1984 when BYU took home the one and only major football championship ever won in this state, the naysayers complained that BYU's schedule was weak and that despite being the only major college undefeated team in the United States, they didn't deserve the title. They of course never said that when other teams from the larger conferences were voted in year after year despite some questionable credentials. There was always a debate when that type of system was in vogue, but going to the BCS system only made it worse.
Now many of those same people maintain that non-BCS teams cannot possibly be the best even with an undefeated record and despite victories over a number of good BCS opponents during the season. Now that also includes one over one of their conference champions in the post season.
No one can remember when there were five undefeated major college football teams in the nation at the end of the regular season. On Saturday, Louisville took the wind out of Boise State's undefeated sail. However, had Utah played Louisville in that bowl as they were set to do, I believe Utah's defense would have eaten up Louisville.
As of Sunday morning then, there were four unbeaten teams left, and yet in the two biggest bowls of the year, only three unbeatens would be playing in them. I have no questions that Virginia Tech is a great team, but after all they do have two losses on the season.
Utah should have been there instead, as they proved on New Years Day night.

Flashback: When Glen Sather Asked Mark Messier To Coach The Rangers
In the spring of 2002, with Ron Low finishing his final season as head coach of the New York Rangers, captain Mark Messier, 41 years old at the time, told the NY Daily News that he wasn't interested in becoming coach of the Rangers, "No. "(Coaching) is not in my immediate plans, that's for sure. You probably never say never, but I've never given it much thought. And not right now. I have no interest in coaching."
Following the Rangers firing of Brian Trottier in January 2003, Messier revealed in the NY Daily News that Glen Sather had asked him before the season about going behind the bench, "He did ask me, to be very honest, he did ask me last year if I was going to play, and if I didn't, would I be interested in coaching the team last year," Messier said, referring to a conversation they had shortly after Ron Low was fired as Sather's first Rangers head coach. "I said I didn't know if I was going to play. And he said, 'Well, if you don't play, would you be interested in coaching?'"
Messier added, "Glen has been asking me to do that for a long time, but I'm a player right now and I don't want to coach. I'm under no illusion that because I've played the game and been involved and won before that that automatically translates into a coach.
Sather coached the team following the firing of Trottier but only because assistant coach Jim Schoenfeld turned down the job.
The report says that Herb Brooks was twice offered the position of head coach and, along with Larry Robinson, turned it down.
The NY Post says that Pavel Bure asked Sather to coach the team before Trottier was hired and also says that Schoenfeld turned down the head coaching position.
Messier has been working as a special assistant to Glen Sather the past three seasons.

Charles Dickens
Early Years
In spite of humble beginnings, little education, and the sometimes-critical literary reviewers, Charles Dickens was loved by his public, and amassed wealth, prestige, and a large legacy of published works. He was one of the few writers to enjoy both popular acceptance and financial success while still alive. The drive for this success had its roots in his childhood.
Charles John Huffam Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England on Friday, February 7, 1812. He was the second of eight children born to John and Elizabeth Dickens. His father, John, was the son of illiterate servants. John Dickens managed to escape a similar fate when the family his parents worked for got him a job in a navy pay office. John continued his upward climb by keeping his own lowly background a secret and courting Elizabeth Barrow, the daughter of a wealthy senior clerk who worked there. The marriage succeeded, but John's hopes for further advancement fizzled when his father-in-law was accused of embezzlement and fled the country. The loss of this financial opportunity did not slow the spending habits of John and Elizabeth, who liked the upper-class lifestyle. This problem would be their downfall as time went on.
During Charles Dickens' early years, his family moved a great deal due to his father's job and spending habits. He recalled later that the best time of his childhood was their five years in Chatham, where they moved when Dickens was five, and where life was stable and happy. Dickens loved the area, learned to read, and was sent to school.
However his father's financial problems required a move to smaller quarters in London when Dickens was ten. Their four-room home was cramped, creditors called frequently trying to collect payments, and Dickens' parents alternated between the stress of survival and the gaiety of continuing to party. Dickens wanted to return to school but was instead sent to work at the age of twelve to help support the family.
For twelve hours a day, six days a week, Charles Dickens pasted labels to bottles of shoe polish at the rat-infested, dilapidated Warren's Blacking factory. He was ridiculed and harassed by the older, bigger workers and shamed by the stigma of working in such filthy, low-class surroundings. Intellectually frustrated, resentful of his older sister (who was studying at the Royal Academy of Music), and hurt by his parents' lack of interest in his education, Dickens despaired.
When his father was arrested for nonpayment of a debt, Dickens' mother and younger siblings moved into prison with his father, leaving the twelve-year-old alone on the outside to continue working. His older sister remained at the music academy. Lonely, scared, and abandoned, Dickens lived in a run-down neighborhood close to the prison so that he could visit his family. It was a firsthand experience of poverty and prison life and a reinforcement of the considerable insecurity and emotional abandonment that marked his childhood.
A small inheritance a few months later allowed his family to leave prison. Dickens was finally allowed to attend school over his mother's objections — she did not want to lose his income. School was short-lived though: At fifteen, Dickens had to return to work. Dickens never got over the time he spent at Warren's and his fierce sense of betrayal and rage at his mother's callousness stayed with him for life. Recalling that time, he said: "I never afterwards forgot, I never shall forget, I never can forget, that my mother was warm for my being sent back [to Warren's Blacking]."
