WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Kevin Cramer is leading a bipartisan group with 60 other Members of Congress in objecting to proposed regulations, known as the set-top box rules, mandating pay TV companies such as cable and satellite television providers share their raw video programming with third-party set-top box competitors.
In a letter sent today to Tom Wheeler, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Members of Congress objected to the additional burden these new regulations will impose on pay TV providers. They highlighted their concern over the economic hardship this regulation would impose on small businesses and their consumers.
"If the FCC wants to stifle innovation and competition, imposing another government mandate on cable operators is the way to do it," said Cramer. "The FCC's set-top box proposal fails to acknowledge that cable providers are already seeking new innovative technologies for their customers. In my state of North Dakota, small video operators do not have teams of lawyers whose sole purpose is to meet new FCC compliance standards. Instead of more unwieldy regulations, Chairman Wheeler should focus on helping providers bring more competition into the video marketplace."
One small family-owned cable business in North Dakota is among the pay TV providers to express concern about this proposal. "We truly appreciate the efforts of Rep. Cramer and all Members of Congress who recognize that the FCC's efforts on the set-top box market will add hundreds of millions of dollars of regulations on small businesses and create widespread confusion among our consumers," said Roy Sheppard, president of Cable Services, Inc., headquartered in Jamestown, N.D.
"As a family-owned cable business in North Dakota since 1964, we have participated in the constant evolution of technology to serve the needs of our customers at affordable prices," said Sheppard. "The FCC should let the market work as it is doing today to give consumers the video and broadband choice that they want."
Sheppard praised Cramer and the other Members of Congress objecting to this proposed rulemaking. "They know that when Washington regulates, small companies and communities, and consumers served by small companies like ours, are hurt the worst."
Cramer serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over the FCC and the telecommunications industry. Prior to his election to the House of Representatives in 2012, he spent 10 years as a North Dakota Public Service Commissioner. The response period for the proposed rulemaking ends May 23. The FCC has indicated a final rule will be issued before the end of 2016.

BEULAH, N.D. – Congressman Kevin Cramer told Department of Interior officials touring the Freedom Mine today that he questioned their sincerity in developing the new proposed Stream Protection Rule that will be released this year. The rule imposes more and stricter regulations on all coal mining and creates a nationwide standard for enforcement that does not take into account the varying geographical characteristics of different regions of the country.
Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management Janice Schneider led the tour of Office of Surface Mining (OSM) staff in the tour today, which was also attended by Senators John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp and North Dakota Public Service Commissioner Randy Christmann.
"OSM is writing a rule for the coal mines in the east that is being applied across the nation," said Cramer. When asked what the problem is they are trying to fix, Schneider said she couldn't answer that question.
Cramer said as it is written the new proposed rule will be devastating to North Dakota's lignite mining industry. "To me this is another attack by the Obama Administration's war on coal that seeks to put all coal mines out of business. When this Administration isn't creating solutions in search of problems, it is apparently destroying private industry solely for political objectives. It's a sad day for our Republic when a senior official within the Department of Interior can't (or maybe won't) explain the purpose of such an important rule, promulgating fundamental changes to how we mine coal in North Dakota. They are also completely ignoring a generation of institutional knowledge gained by the North Dakota Public Service Commission, needlessly harming jobs, capital and our economy."
Cramer sent a letter last week requesting Interior officials provide North Dakota stakeholders all technical reports, data, analyses, comments received and drafts relative to environmental reviews, and draft and final environmental impact statements. It also instructs them to meet with relevant North Dakota stakeholders to further discuss the impacts of this new rule on the state's mining industry, pursuant to report language within the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016, signed into law by President Obama last December.
"It is clear that Office of Surface Mining (OSM) officials did not take the hydrologic and geologic conditions of North Dakota into account when drafting these new stream protection rules," said Cramer. "Our unique characteristics specific to North Dakota's geography and lignite mining practices deserve to be better understood before this proposed rule is finalized."
Cramer was a North Dakota Public Service Commissioner for 10 years prior to being elected to Congress in 2012, managing the State Primacy Surface Mine Coal Reclamation Act portfolio during his tenure. "I know firsthand how new federal rules can disrupt a state's commerce and industry when they don't take into account the unique characteristics of an area," Cramer said. "It doesn't appear to me that OSM officials drafting this rule have complied with the language the House inserted in the Appropriations bill. As it is written it places undue burdens and expense on coal miners. Instead of addressing environmental issues with 'a one-size-fits-all regulation,' I believe these concerns are more efficiently addressed by the states and policed by the industry."

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A bill sponsored by Congressman Kevin Cramer that increases broadband accessibility to skilled nursing homes in rural areas has been passed by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. H.R. 4111, the Rural Health Care Connectivity Act of 2015, addresses the gap in health information technology broadband connectivity that impacts skilled nursing facilities, including several in North Dakota. Cramer made his remarks at the hearing prior to the committee action Thursday, where it passed by a voice vote.
H.R. 4111 amends the Communications Act of 1934 to include skilled nursing facilities as among the types of health care providers that may request support from a telecommunications carrier under the Universal Service Fund.
"It would be hard to overstate the importance of the ability for rural healthcare facilities, especially skilled nursing facilities, to have access to these funds to bring this type of opportunity," Cramer told the committee. "The opportunity that technology provides for greater access for patients in rural America, especially skilled nursing facilities, adds to quality of life, scores favorably, and can prevent greater healthcare problems, saving even more money. It's a pleasure to be part of something that is this positive."
At a hearing on the bill last month, Dan Holdhusen, director of government relations for the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, testified about how this legislation would bring to skilled nursing homes in rural areas the necessary telecommunications and information services at rates that are reasonably comparable to those charged for similar services in urban areas. The Good Samaritan Society operates 10 of North Dakota's 80 skilled nursing facilities.
Cramer said he looks forward to voting for its passage on the House floor in the coming months. "This bill is yet another example of how access to much-needed health care in rural areas is a bipartisan issue. This bill, if passed into law, will give North Dakota skilled nursing facilities one additional tool necessary to increase the quality of life for their residents and prevent long-distance travel for health care."
In addition to Cramer, H.R. 4111 is sponsored by Rep. Leonard Lance (R-NJ) and Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-IA).Read More
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Legislation that has been passed by the House of Representatives will benefit startup companies seeking investors, according to Congressman Kevin Cramer. H.R. 4498, the Helping Angels Lead Our Startups (HALOS Act), amends the Securities Act of 1933 to ensure that startup companies do not inadvertently violate Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations governing general solicitation of potential investors. The bill passed the House by a vote of 325-89 Wednesday.
"There are so many barriers to entry for startups, it's time to modernize the Securities Act of 1933," said Cramer. "The HALOS Act amends the Securities Act to clarify that certain startup companies are able to give presentations about their company and host events like demo days, for example, without violating various SEC investment solicitation bans. This bill knocks down some of the barriers to entry for startups and it is more than an appropriate rollback of some of the rules," said Cramer.
Under the Securities Act of 1933, any offer to sell securities must either be registered with the SEC or meet an exemption. SEC Regulation D contains three general rules for providing exemptions from the registration requirements, allowing some companies to offer and sell their securities without having to register the securities with the SEC. One such exemption is Rule 506 of Regulation D, which allows companies to offer securities for sale up to 35 non-accredited investors and an unlimited number of accredited investors, as long as the company does not market its securities through general solicitations or advertising.
Angel investors are general wealthy individuals who are often actively involved in the startups they back, and are not typically professional investors. In 2014, angels invested approximately $24 billion in over 73,000 startups and are responsible for 90 percent of the equity investment that startups receive. Corporations like Amazon, Costco, Facebook, Google, and Starbucks were all first funded by angel investors.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Kevin Cramer congratulated Bismarck native and North Dakota State University Bison quarterback Carson Wentz on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives this morning for being the No. 2 pick in the National Football League draft.
Wentz was chosen by the Philadelphia Eagles last night in the first round of the draft. A transcript of Cramer's remarks are below:
Forgive me for being proud, Mr. Speaker, but today my 750,000 fellow North Dakotans and I are standing a little taller as we celebrate the extraordinary accomplishments of one exceptional young man.
Last night every television in North Dakota was tuned in to the NFL Draft to see who the lucky team would be who gets North Dakota State University quarterback Carson Wentz. The Philadelphia Eagles used their second overall pick to pick Carson.
Cheers and tears of pride and admiration for the most famous Bison football player ever expressed a sense of state patriotism. NDSU's record of five consecutive FCS football championships took a back seat to one special Bismarck native. And rightfully so. Carson Wentz is more than a 6-foot-5 super athlete. He is a man who takes God's incredible gifts and works them with an ethic of worship. His mind and heart are as big as his frame. And his pride is not in himself but in his team, in his school, in his community and in his state.
We are happy for the good people of Philadelphia, knowing that Pennsylvania is gaining much more than a great football player. They are gaining a great citizen. Congratulations Eagles, and God bless you on your new adventure, Carson Wentz. And thanks for being a great ambassador for North Dakota.Read More
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The first update in 30 years to email privacy laws was unanimously passed by the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday. H.R. 699, the Email Privacy Act, revises the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) that was first passed in 1986. It requires the government to get a probable cause warrant from a judge before obtaining private communications and documents stored online with companies such as Google, Facebook, and Dropbox.
The bill codifies the Sixth Circuit Court ruling in U.S. v. Warshak, which held that Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures require that the government must first obtain a warrant before accessing emails stored with cloud service providers.
"H.R. 699 is a big win for user privacy," said Cramer, who was a co-sponsor of the bill. "The past three decades have brought significant technology advances, especially with the internet, email and cell phones. This bill ensures that Fourth Amendment protections are applied to the use of today's technologies. It recognizes that while technology has dramatically changed how we communicate, the Constitution remains the same."
Cramer said that current law allows the government to access email that is more than six months old without a warrant. "Technology has changed dramatically since 1986. There was no Google, Facebook, Twitter, or cloud computing. Social networking in the 1980s meant passing a note to a friend in class. Today, social networking means posting on friends' Facebook walls or liking their photos on Instagram. The way we communicate today requires Fourth Amendment protections."
Key provisions of H.R. 699 are:
Warrant requirement: The bill creates a uniform warrant standard for law enforcement to obtain the content of communications in criminal investigations. ECPA warrants will continue to be executed with the provider since, as with any other third-party custodian, the information is stored with them. It allows the provider to notify its customers of receipt of a warrant, court order, or subpoena, unless the provider is court ordered to delay such notification.
Remote Computing Services: The bill maintains current law that delineates which remote computing service providers – or cloud providers – are subject to the warrant requirement for content in a criminal investigation. ECPA has traditionally imposed heightened legal process and procedures to obtain information for which the customer has a reasonable expectation of privacy, namely emails, texts, photos, videos, and documents stored in the cloud.
Allows Law Enforcement to Access Public Information: ECPA currently makes no distinction between content disclosed to the public, like an advertisement on a website, versus content disclosed only to one or a handful of persons, like an email or text message. The result is that law enforcement would be required to obtain a warrant even for publicly-disclosed content. The bill clarifies that commercial public content can be obtained with process other than a warrant.
Maintains Congress's investigative power: The bill clarifies that nothing in the law limits Congress's subpoena authority to obtain information from third parties in furtherance of Congressional oversight.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Kevin Cramer delivered an opening statement at a briefing of the Congressional Rural Broadband Caucus today, which focused on strengthening rural economics through broadband deployment.
Cramer welcomed one of the participants, Justin Forde of Fargo, who is director of public affairs at Midco, a regional provider of cable television, Internet and telephone service to North Dakota, South Dakota, and several communities in Minnesota and Wisconsin. He talked about the gigabit Internet service initiative Midco is deploying to every community it serves, regardless of population, throughout North Dakota.
"Every day, Midco and many other rural telcos are working tirelessly to deploy lightning-fast broadband to their customers," said Cramer. "They understand that high-speed Internet is essential to living in rural America in the 21st century."
Cramer compared the importance of broadband today to the development of the railroad and highway systems of the past that brought new opportunities to rural America. "With ongoing discussions in Washington on how to decrease the 'digital divide,' our Caucus can provide insight into how we can enact more meaningful broadband policy for rural America in the future."
In February, Cramer, along with Rep. Bob Latta (R-OH), Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), and Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT), founded the 34-member bipartisan Rural Broadband Caucus. They now co-chair the group, whose purpose is to facilitate discussion, educate Members of Congress and staff, and develop policy solutions to the digital divide that exists in rural America.
As part of this divide between urban and rural America, over half of all rural Americans lack access to this basic standard of broadband service. In 2015, the FCC updated its broadband benchmark speeds to 25 megabits per second (Mbps) for downloads and 3 Mbps for uploads. According to the FCC, using this updated benchmark, the 2015 report finds that 55 million Americans – 17 percent of the population – lack access to advanced broadband.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Kevin Cramer announced the passage of five bills in the House of Representatives this week that increases accountability and oversight of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
This legislation addresses criminal wrongdoing by IRS employees targeting conservative organizations, requires Congressional approval on how user fees collected by the IRS are spent, suspends the hiring of IRS employees who have not paid their taxes, prohibits rehiring former IRS employees who had previously been dismissed for misconduct, and bans the payment of bonuses to employees until a comprehensive customer service strategy is approved by Congress.
"In this week when all Americans were required to file their income taxes, the House is addressing the ineptitude and culture of corruption at this rogue agency," said Cramer. "The IRS has betrayed the public trust with mismanagement and scandal. The bills we passed this week are badly needed and basic. They address practices that would never fly in North Dakota and shouldn't be tolerated anywhere in Washington."
Here is a summary of the bills passed this week which Cramer supported.
H.R. 4903. Since early 2011, the Committees on Oversight and Government Reform and Ways and Means have investigated evidence of possible criminal wrong-doing by IRS employees, including Lois Lerner, the former IRS Director of Exempt Organizations, relating to the targeting of conservative organizations. H.R. 4903 prohibits the IRS from using funds to target United States citizens for exercising any rights guaranteed under the First Amendment.
H.R. 4885 - IRS Oversight While Eliminating Spending (OWES) Act. The IRS collects user fees for a variety of programs and services, and under current law has authority to allocate money from its user-fee account as the agency sees fit, without Congressional approval or appropriation. The Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight investigation found that in Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 the IRS deliberately diverted resources away from taxpayer services and towards other agency functions, including implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The bill repeals the provision of current law that allows the IRS to spend user fees collected by the agency without Congressional approval or appropriation. It requires that all IRS user fees collected be deposited into the general fund of the Department of the Treasury, and be subject to Congressional appropriations.
H.R. 1206 – No Hires for the Delinquent IRS Act. In April 2015, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reported that of the 1,580 IRS employees found to be willfully noncompliant with tax laws between 2004 and 2013, only 39 percent were terminated, resigned, or retired. This is despite current law which requires the IRS to terminate an employee who willfully fails to file a federal tax return or willfully understates federal tax liability. This bill suspends the hiring of new IRS employees unless the Treasury Secretary certifies that no IRS employees have serious tax delinquencies with respect to their own tax obligations. If the Secretary cannot make such certification, the Secretary must submit a report explaining why it cannot certify, outlining the remedial actions that would be necessary to make such certification, and indicating the time that would be required to complete those actions.
H.R. 3724 - Ensuring Integrity in the IRS Workforce Act of 2015. As part of the basic obligation of public service, all federal employees are required to comply with legal and financial obligations. Employees of the IRS are subject to the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch as well as additional rules applicable to the Department of the Treasury. In February 2015, the Treasury Inspector General (IG) for Tax Administration released a report that found hundreds of former employees with "prior substantiated conduct or performance issues ranging from tax issues, unauthorized access to taxpayer information, leave abuse, falsification of official forms, unacceptable performance, misuse of IRS property, and off-duty misconduct." In addition, the IG found that one in five of the rehired employees with a record of prior misconduct had performance issues when they returned to the IRS. This bill prohibits rehiring any individual who was previously employed by the IRS but was removed for misconduct or whose employment was terminated for cause.
H.R. 4890 - According to the Internal Revenue Service's Strategic Plan for FY2014-2017, the delivery of high quality and timely service to reduce taxpayer burden and encourage compliance is identified as goal number one. According to the Taxpayer Advocate, the IRS was only able to answer 37 percent of calls last year during the 2014 filing season, and those callers who managed to get through had to wait on hold an average of 23 minutes. This was a marked drop off compared to the 2013 filing season when 71 percent of calls were answered and there was an average hold time of 14 minutes. The Commissioner of the IRS expects to answer between 47 and 50 percent of calls this year for the 2015 filing season. H.R. 4890 places a ban on payment of bonuses to IRS employees until the Department of the Treasury submits to Congress a comprehensive customer service strategy that has been reviewed and approved by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Kevin Cramer met with Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) in his office Wednesday to settle up on the friendly wager they made on the outcome of the NCAA Hockey National Championship game in Tampa, Florida, Saturday, April 9.
The University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks defeated the Quinnipiac University Bobcats of Hamden, Conn., to clinch their eighth national title by a score of 5 to 1.
DeLauro delivered to Cramer's staff beer from the No Worries Brewing Company in Hamden, Conn. In the unlikely event that the Bobcats would have won, Cramer would have treated DeLauro's staff to a box of Chippers chocolate covered potato chips from Widman's Candy Shop in Grand Forks.
During their meeting, Cramer and DeLauro shared with each other how important hockey, especially at the NCAA collegiate level, is to the constituents in their districts.
Cramer congratulated the UND team on the national championship in a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives on April 13.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Kevin Cramer issued the following statement following today's news from the Hess Corporation that it has exported the first shipment of North Dakota oil since Congress lifted the ban on exporting crude oil last December. The ban was lifted as part of the year-end omnibus appropriations bill.
"This first shipment of 175,000 barrels of Bakken crude is the beginning of using North Dakota's energy resources as a tool of peace, just like we have exported agriculture products to our friends around the world for decades. As I often said during the long fight in Congress to lift this ban, exporting America's crude oil will strengthen ties with our allies around the world. It will create new markets for American oil and stabilize domestic production. And, it will ensure more jobs in oil-producing states like North Dakota and across the nation."Read More

Bitterness against Jaiswal and in Cong too

In Kanpur, home ground of Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal, one of the Congress's many hurdles is infighting as it seeks to improve on the two seats it won (out of seven then) in this BJP stronghold in 2007.
Another challenge is the city's problems, mainly its dying industries. The party is hoping to have earned some goodwill with the implementation of JNNURM projects, though that too has been late.
Being a Union minister makes Jaiswal the target of people's anger. He does enjoy a clean image but he is also seen as aloof from the common man, moving with only the elite. Jaiswal heads the campaign committee for the UP elections.
The infighting is largely between Jaiswal and Govind Nagar MLA Ajai Kapoor, now contesting from Kidwai Nagar, a new seat. During the Prime Minister's rally last week, Jaiswal praised the former for the promises he had made in 2009 for Kanpur's revival Kapoor pointed out that many of those promises were yet to be fulfilled. Jaiswal is said to be trying to cut Kapoor to size. And Rahul Gandhi took his roadshow to two seats in the city but skipped Kidwai Nagar, apparently because of Kapoor's rift with Jaiswal.
Kapoor, who is alleged to have worked against Jaiswal's interests in 2009, is incidentally related to BJP leader Satish Mahana, who was contesting against Jaiswal.
Many feel Jaiswal hasn't been proactive enough about reviving industries. "He has been chosen MP twice on the same promise, reviving the factories... The workers are left gasping for breath," says Rama Shankar Pandey, who works at Lal Imli.

Pandey accuses Jaiswal of not wanting to revive these factories. "He is only interested in selling the land cheap." Indeed, Jaiswal and other leaders have said the party wants to revive only a few units; the land of the rest should be sold but the state government has not allowed it.

In an interview with CNN on Friday, Snowe said she no longer supports the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman. Snowe also said she supports a law passed by her state's legislature that legalizes same-sex marriage, according to CNN.
Snowe's shift follows announcements by a number of senators that they now support same-sex marriage. Snowe said there has been a "sea change in society's whole attitude" on same-sex marriage and that government should be "responsive to those changes."
"The time has come," Snowe told CNN. "I think what we're seeing is, I think, changing societal conventions, that ultimately you see the transformation of society's gradual thinking and evolving on issues. I think we're seeing those sea changes on this particular question."

Some asking port to preserve old plywood mill smokestack

The stack will be toppled with explosives later this year as part of the port's $1.6 million Peninsula Plywood site demolition project.
"Some people have said, 'Why can't we save that stack? It's an iconic symbol of what our community used to do," Port Commission President Jim Hallett said during a project update at a Monday commissioners meeting.
"They are looking at that as a symbol," said Hallett, who earlier was named the board's 2013 president by outgoing president and Commissioner John Calhoun and Commissioner Paul McHugh.
"There's some sentimentality," Hallett said of the cylindrical structure, which is being swathed in scaffolding as Rhine Demolition of Tacoma prepares to tear down the stack by March 25.
Calhoun said the stack is on navigation charts that will have to be revised after it no longer pierces the skyline.

Requiring employees to arbitrate most employment disputes can save your organization time and money—if you can get the agreement to stick. Courts look closely at the circumstances surrounding the agreement's presentation. Sometimes they rule an agreement is so one-sided and unfair that they toss it out.
But if the applicant gets a chance to review the agreement while she can still turn down the job without much hassle, it will probably be binding.
Recent case: Alexye Yagoda took a job with Panera Bread as a retail manager. The company told her before she accepted the offer that she had to sign an arbitration agreement. She did. Later, when Yagoda sued Panera Bread for sex discrimination, the company asked the court to send the case to arbitration.
The court agreed after looking carefully at the circumstances surrounding Yagoda's signing. Unlike other cases in which courts had invalidated such agreements, it said this one was valid. The court distinguished this case from one in which the agreement wasn't presented until after the applicants had quit their old jobs, bought expensive equipment and were in situations where they had no reasonable choices. Yagoda could have turned down the job if she didn't want to sign. (Yagoda v. Strong Corporation, No. 08-1901, DC NJ, 2008)
Advice: As soon as possible in the hiring process, explain that you will require an arbitration agreement. That way, applicants who don't want to sign can halt the hiring process before they quit their jobs.

The box office figures show overall attendances were up by 4% from the previous year to 14,587,276.
These figures pay testament to the quality, vibrancy and enduring popularity of the London stage, which, despite a difficult economic climate, continues to pull in the crowds thanks to the world-class entertainment on offer and inclusive pricing structures.
With the combined box office advance sales also reaching new heights in December, we are looking forward to another year of success stories for our theatres in 2014.

The 4th annual Perfect Game California Underclass Showcase will be held at Arrowhead Credit Union Park in San Bernardino January 19-21. The showcase has quickly become one of the top showcase events in the country in terms of the talent that attends each year.
Approximately 130 players have attended the past two events and according to Showcase Director Mike Spiers, that number should be easily surpassed for this event.
The single player that the Perfect Game scouts are looking forward to seeing the most is Thomas Lemke, a 6-8, 205 lb right handed pitcher from Northwest Christian HS in Phoenix, Arizona.
Says PG Director Jerry Ford, "We saw Lemke in San Diego last August, he has a special type of arm and should be one of the top high school pitchers in the 2009 class. We're very excited to be able to see him again. He's definitely one of the most interesting 2009 pitching prospects we saw last year"
A full list of showcase participants will be available on the Perfect Game website (
) in the week before the event.
If you would like an invitation to the 2008 California Underclass Showcase go to
and fill out the form and email it back to the Perfect Game office for review.
Last year's roster of talented prospects included a total of seven players who eventually were named Aflac All-Americans. Those included:
SS Chris Amezquita
OF Isaac Galloway
RHP-OF Aaron Hicks
OF-1B Clark Murphy
3B Ricky Oropesa
RHP-SS Ryan O'Sullivan
C Kyle Skipworth
Other top prospects included SS Cutter Dykstra, LHP-OF Anthony Gose, RHP Jake Thompson, SS Matt Harrison, RHP Ray Hanson, SS Jason Hanson and RHP-1B Matt Sisto.
Maybe the most interesting player from the 2007 to look back on was C Kyle Skipworth, now acknowledged as top receiving prospect for the 2008 draft. Skipworth had relatively limited experience behind the plate at that point in his career and was just coming off a successful football season as a strong armed quarterback. Skipworth received a "9" on the PG grading scale, where "10" is the top grade.
The notes from the Perfect Game scouts make it obvious why Skipworth's grade wasn't consistent with some of the other top prospects. His catching skills were very raw in all areas and his pop times were generally in the 2.0 – 2.1 range. One note said "looks new to the position……may end up at 1B or the OF….can be coached." His hitting notes were more positive, highlighting his power potential, concluding "strong follow, major hitter might be in there."

As anyone knows, I am in favour of frequent releases to let packagers make good packagers and allow end-users with no compilation skills (which are becoming a majority in GNU/Linux world) upgrade and benefit from bug fixes. JB was thinking of a release every two months. In my opinion, given the large number of bug fixes, this could well be one release every month during several months. One month to wait for a bug fix is a long time.
Also, whenever a targer release date is passed, I propose to postpone all new feature to a subsequent release and make a Kdenlive release. My opinion...
Kind regards,
Mon, 12/22/2008 - 16:10
I think one every month is too frequently. Sometimes the dev needs to breathe a bit :-)
I partly agree in the thing about not letting outstanding issues block a release. However, this only counts for non-critical stuff. Sometimes we may have had a regression, which causes crashes, or something, and we should respect those as blockers for a release.
Regards and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays all.
Tue, 12/23/2008 - 12:27
Whoa there tiger, don't get carried away :-)
In my opinion, releases is slightly more than just tagging the SVN and rolling a tar ball. Some sort of quality assurance needs to go into to it too. Obviously we are not talking about a bug free release, but for example, take the spacer tool in current svn: http://www.kdenlive.org/mantis/view.php?id=271 . I *think* it would be a mistake to make a release *right now* with the spacer tool in the condition it has. Obviously its a huge improvement from 0.7.0, but the issue with not "snapping" would mean that we would get frustrated users, that keeps missing frames from clips they thought was aligned.
Thats my opinion, anyway. You can turn it around and ask: "Can all new features be implemented to a state where its tolerable to release them to users, within a month?". If the answer is no, I think a month is too short, *OR* new features needs to be implemented seperate from the branch from where releases are made; features need must be merged to the release branch before releases, with all the tedious work related to that.
Re breathing: Is was just thinking that every scheduled release puts a pressure on the devs (this is jb I think of) to add something of value to the release. After a release crunch, jb just might need to rebound before a new release looms in the horizon.
Also, for any changes to MLT, you need to have Dan do an MLT release too.
But, you do not need to argue this with me - jb and dan really should decide this.
Tue, 12/23/2008 - 20:45
From my perspective (recently into video editing, but been using linux for a few years as a user, not developer), releases should not be put out so frequently. What I think works well for me and what might help get more testers engaged is:
-I want the newest features, but prize stability and dependability more highly. I think most users would want to have this rather than the latest 1 month old feature. Unstable releases will do more harm than good to the reputation of the project.
-I don't mind doing updates, but I'm not into updating every month. I only do one short project per month as I accumulate footage of my kid running around. I don't really want to update the software for every new project.
-Clearly notify us intermediate users when the svn is in good shape and approaching RC status. I would be glad to test and report bugs or wishes. I don't really want to be involved with anything lower than late beta or RC testing. It's hard to know the stability at this point.
-Make it easy to build, with clearly communicated dependencies and other issues. Mads has done a great job on the builder wizard and help on the forums.
-Provide time for bug testing and fixing.
-I would think that a goal of releasing a tarball every 3 months or so would be more useful.
I think digikam project is a good example of a well run project. They for the most part stick to their schedule and clearly notify when things are beta, RC or stable. There is always a few weeks of RC status to get the release ready. I have been a tester and bug reporter for digikam for a year or more now mainly because I like their attitude, progress and attention to detail.
Please take this email as being constructive. I think kdenlive 0.7 was very good and want to see and help with any improvements.
Wed, 12/24/2008 - 11:32
If a release is defined as software that is maintained via the forum and mantis bug reporting, then the frequency of release as of today is ok.
However, as a user affected by bugs, I would want to try the latest kdenlive software without having to know anything about building it from source via wizards or otherwise. I think most users feel the same.
You could make the latest builds available in binary form ready to use in the same or similar way as for formal versions, e.g. via deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/baudm/ubuntu intrepid main. Totally unsupported of course. Make many available, for example one month's worth, and let user choose by build number or clicking in a listbox in the GUI of a webpage.
Thu, 12/25/2008 - 14:32
maybe you could do it like inkscape, have an "official" release totally stable, and then have from time to time snapshots release when some new feature is available for testing untill next stable release. the stable release could be every 2 or 3 months, the snapshot release could be once or twice a month, and the for those who want to work every day with the bleeding edge they still have the wizzard solution.

All you Jerry-haters and critics of his defensive schemes/strategies.
Good thing you were all cheering for Corbins defensive changes because "....you were all tired of watching the open 3's as a result..."
We are only a few games in and this team is a mess and every game the answer is the same from Corbin "....we hjust have to have a better effort..." "...it was a poor effort...."
What does it say about a coach where his players won't put forth any effort 4 out of 6 games?

Beaver Water District
More than 50 years ago, visionary community leaders got together to discuss the need for a long-term supply of clean, safe water for Northwest Arkansas. With an eye to the future and knowledge that a large lake was the best source of water, these citizens worked to establish Beaver Lake Reservoir.
The dam that created Beaver Reservoir and the first water treatment plant were completed in the mid-1960s. Since that time, the District has expanded facilities and improved to keep up with increased water demand and stricter drinking water standards. In addition, three other water utilities have been created to provide drinking water from Beaver Lake.

Worst experience in Helen GAPosted 24-Feb-2016
If your room its on the second floor be prepared to walk down like a ninja otherwise you will have lower floors complaining over you walking down the room you have pay for ( and not necessary cheap) plus you might be asked to leave by the police, funny thing the guy who knock my door to complain about it was quite drunk, the calls i received from the front desk to asked about the noise woke up my 5 month baby, so thanks best western for ruined my holiday trip. I went there for holidays and what a mistake i made, ruin my whole family trip. Having been to helen 2 previous times on the quality inn (which i recommend) i decided to book what it seems to be a more expensive hotel for the holidays but it was a complete mistake. At least the manager was somehow nice and polite the morning after when i went to complain about the hell of a night i had. I went off soon since i didn't want to stay in that old hotel , so I didn't even took the complementary breakfast, did subway instead (clean and nice subway btw). Room looks nice but I would take another hotel in town instead.
