At a special meeting Tuesday, the North Platte school board approved putting all sixth graders into Madison Middle School, but told superintendent Marty Bassett to take a year to make sure all the nuts and bolts of the plan are in place.
Boardmember Jack Price cast the only 'no' vote. Price said after the meeting that the reconfiguration represents a major shift in the way the district operates, and he is not yet convinced that it is the best thing to do.
"I've gone back and forth on it for some time, but as of tonight, I'm not convinced. I have to vote my conscience," he said.
Under the plan, all seventh and eighth grade students would attend Adams Middle School.
The decision was not cut and dried.
Board president Kathy Phares heard people say the board made up its mind some time ago, but "they are not in my mind."
"We've all been doing quite a bit of thinking," she said. "We've done a lot of deliberation."
The initial motion by Julie Nielsen would have implemented reconfiguration in 2015-16, and also required administrators to first spell out staffing changes and financial costs, and conform to the district's goals for student success and stakeholder communication, and report back to the board in one year.
Phares said the board wanted to know more.
"We are not involved in the nuts and bolts, but it is hard to vote on something like this when we don't know how the plans will work," Phares said.
Superintendent Marty Bassett asked for clarification.
"Are you saying we will implement reconfiguration?" Bassett asked. "Or are you saying, 'Study this for another year and then we will vote on reconfiguration?'" Lisa Bianco said reconfiguration is difficult to approve, based on a plan that hasn't been developed yet.
Jack Price said he thought the motion was to approve reconfiguration.
Nielsen and Phares offered to amend the motion to ease Bassett's concerns, but Kimberley Kaschke said she needed "more time to flesh out the details."
"Very important details," she said.
Bassett said he was willing reconvene another committee and get their input about the details of the plan, but said "we need to know if we are doing it or not."
Nielsen then amended her motion, dropping the need to see the staffing changes, financial and stakeholder communication information. She said she trusted the administration to do that and keep the board informed.
Bianco and Kaschke said they preferred the first motion.
Bassett said "this is what we do, everyday. It's your job to set policy and direction -- and it's our job to carry it out."
"There is always an 'if,' -- personnel, money," Bassett said. "We look at those things every day. I understand that this is a big decision. I think it's very prudent to give us more time to work on it. We want to do this right. But in all honestly, you have to give us a little credit."
He said "in all honesty, it would be a little insulting" for the board to put conditions on the administration.
Bassett said the top 23 administrators are all in favor of reconfiguration.
Kaschke noted that the amended motion had not been seconded. After a considerable pause, Mike Morrell, who had not made a comment to that point, seconded the motion.
As votes were cast, most board members paused before casting their vote in favor. When it was Price's turn, he said 'no' into the microphone.
After the meeting, Morrell told the Bulletin that a lot of research has been done and he feels reconfiguration is the best thing to do for the students' education.
Kaschke told the Bulletin afterwards that "we all have concerns."
She said as a parent of five children, she understands the challenges that having students in different schools will present to families.
"I know the importance of keeping our attention on the pulse of the family," she said. "A happy family helps student success."
"This is a major shift," Price said afterwards, "but I think we can get a lot accomplished in a year."
Student says no
One person spoke in the time allotted for public comments. High school junior Jessy Hunt opposed reconfiguration.
Hunt said the value of education comes from caring for kids, not changing where they go to school.
She said high school students don't keep track of which students attended Adams and which attended Madison middle schools, countering the need for socio-economic blending that reconfiguration proponents have touted.
She also said students have to work to succeed.
"You can't just hand out opportunities. Students have to work for them," she said.
Hunt also questioned where the money would come from for buses and transportation.
"There are other educational needs besides buses," she said, such as new Net books (mini-laptop computers.)
"It seems like our district is focused on numbers on charts rather than the different learning styles of students," she said.
Note: Jessy Hunt's name was misspelled when this report was first published.

Rebel Wilson is an Australian comedian and actress who more than lives up to her first name. She is hailed as one of the sassiest new Hollywood face, but she had blazed her own trail long before coming to the States. Rebel began her career in her home country of Australia at a youth theater, and performed so well that she earned a scholarship to study in New York City. While there, she trained with and fine tuned her comedic chops at The Second City comedy club. She is also a prolific writer and producer, which was obvious with the success of several shows that she created and starred in back in Sydney, Australia. In the American film, "Pitch Perfect", Rebel began her rise to fame in this country with both critical and audience acclaim. There are rumors that she will be reprising her role of "Fat Amy" in a sequel. She's caused quite the stir when it comes to the issue of her weight. While it is well known that Hollywood has a tendency to pressure popular actresses to get down to and maintain a particular low weight, Rebel takes her name to heart by bucking the traditional system and staying true to herself. While this has ruffled some feathers, her moxie and fearless attitude toward the subject by not changing herself to fit the standard mold has made her into a modern day heroine to many women. While hosting the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, she showcased her amazing comedic talent and wit. She has a mischievous twinkle in her eye, as well as an electric smile. She shows that looks shouldn't be the only thing that really matters when it comes to a Hollywood star. The Rebel Wilson wallpapers we have available show that she is a beautiful woman full of life, humor, and that current traditions are ready for a reboot.

I haven't been around for quite a while. In fact, I haven't been around since my single annual post that usually consists of the phrase "I haven't been around for quite a while". This has been occurring with enough regularity to have the phrase engraved on my tombstone ( which is moderately amusing when I think about it ). There are reasons. Madness. Facebook. Plushie brains. The usual. But none of which are interesting enough to share, let alone write about.
A month ago I decided to wipe this blog. You probably didn't notice, but don't beat yourself up about it… you were busy. The reasons for this were twofold.
1) People told me I was a good writer and should write a book or something. This, naturally, terrified me. Suddenly I became incapable of stringing sentences together in any coherent fashion whatsoever. Success..? What the heck was I supposed to do with that?? I instantly sought other avenues where failure was a sure thing. And you know what?? There's LOADS of them. I was potentially guaranteed to be bloody useless at a new something for a very long time indeed. Ahhh… there was my comfort zone. Rather annoyingly I became moderately successful at a few of those things too, but I nipped those in the bud before anyone else noticed. *phew*
2) I got an email from my ex where, amongst other things, he mentioned one of my blog entries. Which coincidentally was about something he did that was rather silly that made him look like a bit of a lemon. Suddenly it dawned on me. This blog isn't under my name, it's under my professional online name.
What sort of moron has a private blog under the same name that they earn a living under?
(I'll leave you to imagine me sheepishly raising my right hand at this point.)
It's through sheer good luck rather than any semblance of intelligence that I've never bitched about the industry I work in or the folk that inhabit the same particular swamp. But I could have. And if my ex can find me, anyone else can.
So I toyed with starting up a new blog, but my muse was nowhere to be found. He's probably in Switzerland or something, living an entirely new identity under the witness protection program… so I just settled for deleting all my content.
"Hold on one sec, you loon," I hear you say "But I can see what you've written. It's right there…look."
Well yes, I changed my mind this morning and re-imported the whole damn thing.
Rarasaur, that's why. Or more accurately *this post*. Rara seems to be struggling a bit with the same issue. However, she's more "get up and go" than me, and I usually have to resort to some serious industrial grade self-bribery to get anything done. For instance, for writing this I am rewarding myself with a KitKat Chunky. I introduced this reward system as a feeble attempt at self-encouragement, which has worked up to a point. The point being that my chocolate consumption has shot up 600%, which equates to a 20% increase of bodily mass. To put it bluntly, in return for being a good and focussed girl I rewarded myself with a 15% bigger arse. Considering the fact there's already plenty of junk in this trunk this side effect hasn't turned out to be terribly motivating. Yesterday I bought myself a huge bunch of fresh carrots with the intention of rewarding myself with crunchy carrot sticks and healthy dip. Last night I moved them to the end of the kitchen and ate the entire dip with half a family-size bag of Doritos.
Nevertheless, here I am, and I'm hoping to get back into the Daily Prompt.
I will, however, continue to ignore their handy tips on better blogging and building a healthy following because that's a little too much like achieving something for my liking… and success? That's something I shall be avoiding like carrots.

NEW YORK (Mar. 27)
Seven Israeli war heroes will arrive here this week to make a nationwide tour of the United States aboard special trains which will four the country for three weeks beginning April 3 on behalf of the United Jewish Appeal, it was announced over the week-end by Henry Morgenthau, Jr., general chair-men of the U.J.A.
The Israelis will act as guards of honor aboard seven "Caravans of Hope"–special trains which will visit 41 states to bring the message of the United Jewish Appeal and its agencies to more than 150 cities. The soldiers, all frontline veterans, have been selected for this mission on the basis of their war records, Morgenthau said. They have been given special leave by the Israeli Defense Ministry, subject to recall if necessary.
Earlier, it was announced that a total of $1,171,450 was contributed during the first week of the U.J.A.'s 1949 drive by less than 200 contributors at the first fund-raising meetings held in three major cities. This sum represents the results of Initial "Big Gifts" meetings in Baltimore, Cincinnati end Pittsburgh, it was added.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'd like to help you with your question.
Your son's behavior is causing you a lot of stress. You are trying to balance being a loving and supportive parent with the stress and grief your son is causing. That is a very hard place to be in.
It is important that you care for yourself. You mentioned doing some things like staying involved with grandchildren, resting and staying busy. All of those are great responses to the stress. But you also need someone outside of your family to talk to. A therapist can provide you with an objective point of view, suggestions on how to handle the situation, and overall support to help you through. To find a therapist, talk to your doctor to ask for a referral. Or, if you attend church, your pastor can help. Pastors are often trained in counseling and can offer you support with your faith as well. Or you can search on line for a therapist at http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/.
By seeing a therapist, you can also address some of the long time issues you mentioned. This will help you find different and better ways to cope with your family situation.
You also should decide your boundaries with your son. Being supportive is great, but if your son is making poor choices than he needs to not put you in the middle of the situation. That makes you responsible and causes much guilt and stress for you. That is not to say that you should not be there for him, but deciding how much support you can provide helps you and him with boundaries. For example, support your son by being there for court and for helping him local a place to stay when he is out. But draw the line at having him in your home. By having him there, it takes away the very place that is your safe haven. You cannot go home and relax from the stress of the situation. You are living with it 24 hours a day. That is a lot.
Also, by not providing a home for your son, you are helping him. That sounds strange, but you help him by forcing him to be more responsible for his behavior. If he feels that you will always help him when he does the wrong thing, then he has less incentive to do the right thing. But if the consequences of his actions all fall on him, then he has to take the full brunt of his actions.
You are in a difficult position and it is understandable that you feel this way. But there are options. Reaching out and asking for help shows that you are approaching this in a healthy manner and that you are open to changing the situation. And those are signs of a healthy way of handling your problem.
Let me know if I can help any further,
Here are some therapists that can help:
Veronica Hoegler PhD PsychologistArvada, Colorado 80004Call:(###) ###-####/p>
Deborah Bryon PhD, NCPsyA PsychologistArvada, Colorado 80002Call:(###) ###-####/p>
Mary J Simon PsyD PsychologistOffice is near:Arvada, Colorado 80002Call:(###) ###-####/p>
If you do not find anyone you want to work with, use the link I provided to plug in your zip code and it will provide you with a list of therapists you can contact.
This is definitely a situation you need to get out of. Your son is letting this woman use you and it is only going to make the situation worse. He is putting his needs and his girlfriend's needs ahead of yours. This is a situation that you can offer support in, but while keeping yourself safe from harm.
You're welcome!
I believe it stands for the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis. That usually means the person does in depth therapy rather than short term therapy. It would be a good question to ask her when you talk with her to make an appointment.
Take care and let me know if I can help at any time in the future,

Deputies have arrested a man they say believed he was going to have sex with children ages 6 and 9 in Hernando County Saturday.
Adam Daniel Shepherd, 25, of Jacksonville went to a vacant house on Curtiss Lane where he believed he had arranged to meet the children. No children were ever there, officials said.
When deputies tried to stop him, he rammed his Ford F150 truck into a deputy's vehicle and hit another vehicle and continued on. Hernando deputies stopped their pursuit and issued a statewide warning for officers to look out for the truck.
Pasco deputies stopped him near State Road 52 and U.S. 41, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
Pasco deputies arrested him, and Hernando deputies placed a hold on him for the charges they are investigating. He faces a second-degree felony charge of traveling to meet a minor to engage in unlawful sexual acts.

Winter 2013-14 by the Numbers
PJM wasn't the only place the winter of 2013-14 made its mark in the record books.
MISO, the Southwest Power Pool and NYISO also hit all-time winter peaks during January's polar vortex, while ISO New England came up just short.
January 2014 holds eight of PJM's top 10 winter demand days, including the top spot, 141,846 MW, set Jan. 7. Many areas in MISO, meanwhile experienced their coldest winter in two decades.
PJM and other regions called on demand response, emergency energy purchases, and public appeals for conservation. On Jan. 7, PJM dispatched about 2,000 MW of DR during the morning and evening peaks while NYISO called on 900 MW. PJM also called on more than 2,500 MW of DR Jan. 23 and 28. ISO-NE's winter procurement program provided 21 MW of demand response on five occasions.
None of the RTOs or ISOs cut firm load.
Natural Gas Prices
While power demand wasn't as high later in January, natural gas prices hit record highs in some eastern markets that supply PJM, New York and New England. On Jan. 22, prices at Transco Zone 6 (non-NY) peaked at $123/MMBtu, while prices at Transco Z6 NY and Transco Z5 reached $120/MMBtu.
Most other U.S. gas price hubs traded below $6/MMBtu during the coldest days, although Henry Hub hit $7.92/MMBtu in February, the highest since Hurricane Ike in September 2008.
Generator Outages
The RTOs struggled not only because of record demand but also because of mechanical failures and fuel supply problems. More than one-quarter of the installed capacity in PJM and MISO was idled on Jan. 6 and 7.
Fuel supply problems were responsible for more than half the outages and derates in NYISO, three-quarters of those in SPP and all of those in ISO-NE, according to FERC.
In contrast, lack of fuel was responsible for only one-quarter of the lost generation in PJM. About 5,000 MW of combustion turbines failed to start when called in early January.
Late in January, gas curtailments and start failures for combustion turbines both declined in PJM. Frozen coal and a lack of gas and oil caused outages of as much as 8,000 MW, however.
In much of the country, insufficient fuel oil and coal supplies kept plants from operating.
Barge deliveries were hampered by weather and an inability to transport through shallow water. Ice and sustained cold closed barge operations for a time on the Allegheny River.
Trucks and drivers were also in short supply. At ISO-NE's request, the governor of Massachusetts approved extended hours for truck drivers transporting fuel.
MISO was challenged by an explosion on the TransCanada pipeline Jan. 25 and limited rail capacity, which pinched coal supplies.
"Some [coal] companies said they were only getting half of what they ordered," Eric Callisto, chairman of the Wisconsin Public Service Commission, told the FERC technical conference. Some plants "were down to a 10- or five-day supply this winter."
Rail deliveries "were an ongoing concern years ago," he added. "It still is."
Commissioner Tony Clark suggested that one reason that railroads are struggling to complete coal deliveries "is directly related to the lack of pipeline capacity for oil products. Railroads are using all their power to getting oil out" of the region from increased oil production. "It is all interconnected," Clark said.
Drivers of High Prices Changed
In early January, high prices were driven primarily by record loads, which forced PJM and other operators to dispatch their most expensive generators. LMPs crested at $2,000/MWh for some hours in PJM and MISO while average real-time prices during ranged between $300-$700/MWh during peak hours.
ISO New England had energy market costs of $5.05 billion this winter, almost equal to the $5.2 billion spent in all of 2012. Almost two-thirds of average daily real-time prices were above $100/MWh, versus less than 30% in the winter of 2012-13.
Like PJM, NYISO also won FERC approval for a waiver to lift its $1,000/MWh energy offer cap. Although natural gas prices in NYISO quadrupled from December to January, power prices increased only 176% as oil displaced gas.
Rarely used oil-fired generators were called into service and some dual-fuel units switched to oil due to high gas costs or uncertain supplies.
On many days, oil-fired generation was more economical to dispatch than natural gas units, a rare occurrence since the arrival of cheap shale gas.
In New England, where natural gas prices nearly doubled from the previous winter, oil was ISO-NE's fuel of choice for more than half of the winter, including 23 days in January. The ISO's "winter reliability program" funded inventories of 2.7 million barrels of oil, and the ISO burned 1.9 million barrels of that. "We ran oil units hard," said Peter Brandien, vice president of system operations.
In NYISO, oil-fired generation was cheaper than gas for eight days in December and 18 in January. Oil-fired generation was able to obtain sufficient fuel deliveries at rates close to their oil-burn rates for only short periods, however.
The phenomenon was seen across the country as well. NRG Energy reported burning 1.1 million barrels of oil in January versus 800,000 in all of 2013.
In addition to high LMPs, the severe weather was reflected in uplift as generators sought reimbursement for costs not captured in energy prices and ancillary product sales.
In PJM, uplift for January totaled about $540 million, more than two-thirds what the RTO spent in all of 2013. Most of the uplift came between Jan. 21 and 29.
ISO-NE had uplift of $73 million in January, more than half its 2013 total.

The Avengers are busy tearing up wherever they're shooting. This past weekend, some images turned up of filming taking place in New York City. We've seen from past 'set' photos that there appears to be a big battle happening in the streets against some CG opponents.
I'm usually on the fence with the unofficial images that are released but sometimes they are too good to ignore. Just Jared has posted a few nice shots of the team in action.
There's some running going on. It's kind of funny how Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye appears ultra calm in these shots. Guess that's just how cool he is. It's great to see Black Widow in her traditional costume versus a generic SHIELD suit but I have to say Captain America's costume looks a little weird.
Here's some more shots.
But that's not all. Celebuzz also captured some shots of the team with Thor and Loki having a talk. These appear to be more candid and the nice thing about them is the crew really seems to be enjoying themselves.
What are your thoughts on spy photos? Do you like seeing the production process or would you rather wait for the official images? These days it's hard not seeing new images each day.

Antidumping law as a collusive device
In the United States many antidumping petitions are withdrawn before the investigations are completed. Prusa (1992) argues that petitions are used by domestic industries to induce foreign industries into collusive agreements. In his model, all antidumping petitions should be withdrawn, which is not the case. This paper provides a model in which only some petitions are withdrawn. Withdrawal depends on two key parameters: coordination cost and bargaining power of domestic and foreign industries. A new data set is constructed to test the model on the U.S. experience for the period 1980-97. The econometric analysis supports the theoretical conclusions of the model.

Bikes on Campus: SDSU Students Want to Ride
My wife works at SDSU, and I can confirm that during the semester the sidewalks are very crowded, but the answer is not to ban bike travel. Bike lanes and approved bike routes on campus would help a great deal, as would an education and enforcement campaign to encourage responsible cycling. If officers are already ticketing riders, why not focus only on the irresponsible ones?--the ones who cut across lawns, ride too fast, and disregard "Yield" and "Stop" signs. So many students live within cycling distance of campus, why not create a safe and welcoming environment for them once they arrive? Cycling on campus is possible, and on a sprawling campus like SDSU, should be encouraged. Instead of banning bike travel altogether, campus planners should look for ways to integrate bikes into their campus plan.

i just got a ticket for riding on campus, i was riding not any faster than someone walking fast, passing some people, it was really crowded, when i see a cop with 3 other bicyclist, i dismount and start walking my bike, but he motions for me to come over, i oblige, and he asked me "you know why I stopped you?", i said "for not polluting? one of the other guys smirks and the cop said "what are you laughing at?"... I metioned to him that his priorities where a little messed up, that he should be focusing on people endangeing others, like you said, but he mentioned that the police gets a lot of complains from staff about cyclist, yhats fine i agree that there a re a few bad apples, but dont put us all in the same basket. next time im gonna make him chase me, he needed the exercise anyway; f*#*ing pig!ReplyDelete

AVB calls for clampdown on simulation
Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas wants a clamp down on players making the most of challenges which result in penalties.
• AVB won't make Mancini mistake
Referee Howard Webb gave what the Chelsea manager viewed as two soft penalties for Manchester United during the clubs' 3-3 draw last Sunday, which Wayne Rooney converted to give the Red Devils hope before substitute Javier Hernandez snatched a point six minutes from time.
In the build-up to the second spot-kick, Villa-Boas felt United striker Danny Welbeck had deliberately tripped over the leg of Blues defender Branislav Ivanovic rather than an intentional foul being committed.
"Referees have pretty clear orders on simulation, but it is difficult for them to assess the difference between simulation and fouls in those situations," the Chelsea manager said.
"They need the right backing to decide on these actions, and when it is simulation a yellow card should be given."
"In the end it is the player who proves his smartness, some are called cheats and divers, others are clever and smart for making the most of the situation, depending on your perspective," said Villas-Boas. "These are situations that happen in the games. The referee has to have the correct focus, the correct view."
The Chelsea boss insisted: "Ivanovic made the right decision. He was inside the box. was doing everything in his power to avoid contact and Welbeck sticks his leg out to find Ivanovic's leg and the ref gives a penalty for that?"
Villas-Boas believes such incidents should be reviewed and appropriate action taken by Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), who oversee the elite full-time top-flight officials.
"Now it is up to (PGMOL general manager) Mike Riley and the governing bodies to decide if the refereeing is up to the right level and [if not] to punish the ref," the Chelsea boss said.
"My view on our last game is that, if a referee is going to award two penalties away from home to the same team, he should be 100% sure they are both penalties.
"Howard Webb was obviously 100% sure in his own mind - my opinion is different, that he was wrong, end of story."

DJC2: Birthday Girl Skirt
- Item #: 234-DJC91910
- Manufacturer: Doris Chan
Click on any larger image to enlarge it further.
A tween girl party skirt to crochet, in Girl sizes 6-16, Junior sizes 0-5. It's designed for two gauges (sport and DK yarn weights) and includes stitch symbol diagrams.
Given that a girl's mood can shift in a heartbeat and that kids grow like weeds, with this skirt it's easy to keep up with the inevitable changes. You never have to worry that she will outgrow the skirt before you've even finished crocheting it. The Birthday Girl is quick enough to make and uses a small enough amount of yarn that you can crank out skirts in colors to suit all her personalities. The design offers an easy-fitting style, with a stretchy adjustable waist and simple alterations for length, so she never has to be without her favorite outfit no matter how many inches she shoots up this year.
Most likely your girl will want to style it casually, as a pretty layer over leggings, skinny jeans, perhaps over soft yoga or sweatpants, teamed with a t-shirt or tunic (usually with sparkly stuff on it!). For a more dressy style, for a party, dance or special occasion, the lace is very open and will be better with a slip, lining or other layer underneath for wearing over tights or bare legs.
Recommended yarns include mercerized cotton, blends with hemp, linen, rayon, bamboo and acrylic for warm seasons. For cooler weather, good choices would be firm blends with superwash wool, nylon, silk or acrylic, such as medium weight sock yarn.
Finished Sizes:
Girl S (M, L, XL, XXL); to fit Girl Sizes 6 (7/8, 10/12, 14/16, 14+/16+)
Junior XS (S, M); to fit Junior Sizes 0 (1/3, 5/7)
Drawstring waistband is adjustable, with plenty of stretch to pull on.
Length of skirt is adjustable, and ranges from 11" to 15". Charts are provided for suggested approximate finished lengths for each size and gauge.
- Skill Level: Intermediate

As one of the power-houses of world fashion, London is always bursting with clothing-related events and attractions, not to mention the flagship stores of all the biggest designer labels on the planet.
Countless couturiers have chosen to base themselves in the city over the years, and even those who don't call the city home regularly visit the British capital to make connection with their contemporaries and keep up with all the latest trends.
It should therefore come as no surprise to learn that London is among the best places in the world to immerse oneself in the fashion industry, and an upcoming exhibition at the Barbican Art Gallery is yet more proof of this.
Entitled The Fashion World of Jean Pail Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, the display will open on April 9th and aims to provide an insight into the mind of one of the most famous designers of recent times.
Consisting of nearly 200 items created by the celebrated fashionista, the exhibition aims to detail Gaultier's rise to the top of the industry, shedding light on the themes which have influenced his styles as well as his relationships with models and celebrities.
Among the pieces on show will be the famous conical bra that Jean Paul Gaultier designed for Madonna to wear during her Blonde Ambition world tour in 1990.
Other designs that feature in the exhibition have been worn by the likes of Kylie Minogue, while several costumes from Luc Bresson's movie The Fifth Element will also be on display.
Known for his avant-garde style and unconventional themes and motifs, Gaultier is considered one of the most forward-thinking designers of all time, and has collaborated with world-famous photographers and artists like Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle and many others.

A Closer Look at the Website Grader Results
In my previous post about evaluating your SEO, I recommended using HubSpot's Website Grader as a starting point for your SEO efforts. Now, let's take a closer look at the information you can get from that report and review some of the ways you can use that data to better optimize your professional site. I'll use my own business website, Marlannah Digital Marketing, as an example and walk through step by step how to maximize the feedback you get in the next few posts.
The first thing I see on the report is my Website Grade, which is a relatively weak 65 out of 100. (That's a little embarrassing, frankly, but you know what they say about the cobbler's kids having no shoes . . . .)
On the plus side, though, there's a lot of opportunity for improvement. Let's dig a little deeper and see exactly what we can do.
The content section includes information about your recent blog posts, how many pages search engines have indexed from your site, and the readability level of your content. In my case, my blog posts are at a graduate school reading level, which is probably a little too high, and they're not being re-Tweeted enough, so I should work on that.
Because HubSpot is a big proponent of content marketing, they also determine whether you have a blog and then assign a separate grade to that, using data from their Blog Grader tool. If you have a blog, you should take a look at this, too, but for now let's keep going with the Website Grader.
The second section of the Website Grader report is about optimizing your content, focusing on what is typically referred to as on-page optimization. That term refers to things you do TO your site to ensure that it's structured in a way that is friendly to the search engines. The Optimize section is broken down into the following sub-sections:
Metadata is data about data. It is used to describe the various information on your web pages. Some metadata may not be visible to human visitors to your site, but can be used by search engines to help them understand what's on your page. Depending on how your website was built, you may need professional help to modify the metadata. If your site was built using an SEO-friendly content management system, though, you will likely be able to make changes yourself.
Website Grader looks at two metadata elements. The Page Title on your home page is the first and is the most important for SEO. You should use a keyword-rich (but not stuffed) Title Tag to let the search engine know the main topic of your page. Each page should have a unique Title Tag that relates to the specific content.
The second element is the meta description. This doesn't directly impact your rankings, but can affect whether your link in the search results gets clicked. That's because search engines often (but not always) will use your meta description as the text in the link.
You want to include a meta description so that your listing doesn't inadvertently look like this:
In the next post, I'll explore more of the information from Website Grader results.

Mcmillan A-4 to Remington 700
Can I take a stock remington 700...308 win mag...And take the stock off and put on a Mcmillan A-4 stock? And if not what do I have to do to make this happen.
First of all there is no .308 Win Mag. that I know of. You must have meant a .300 Win. Mag. or a .308 Winchester. They are two different recievers. One is a short action, the .308 Win, the other is a long action, .300 Win. Mag. Two totally different cartridges and recievers. Yes you can have a McMillan A-4 stock made by Mcmillan to fit the Remmy 700. You just have to be exact when ordering from them to get the correct stock made to fit your action. If you are going to go to a aftermarket 5 round detachable magazine, Mcmillan uses Badger Ordance bottom metal with detachable magazine only. when you order you will have to tell them what recoil lug you have, what bottom metal you are going to use (stock or aftermarket), what barrel you are going to use (again stock or the kind of aftermarket barrel you are using). The stock will have to be fitted, inleted, and bedded to make it right. McMillan can do this for you or your gunsmith, unless you know how to do this yourself. McMillan doesn't have rifle stocks sitting on the shelf to order and just ship. Each one they make is cast to fit your particular rifle. They will take up to 4 months from order to deliver your stock. They will require a minimum of a $200.00 deposit. I recomend that you research more or contact your local gunsmith before you buy. Bell & Carlson also make similar rifle stocks at a bit less price.
From the McMillan Site. Custom rifles, fiberglass stocks, military and police training, tactical and competition gear, hunting accessories
McMillan Stocks at MidwayUSA
" The A-4 will accommodate all Remington 700 and Winchester Model 70 actions and can be customized for other actions at an additional cost. The stock is ambidextrous and may be inletted for either right and left hand."
You just need to tell them long or short action. Heck you can order them from midwayusa.com I believe. You need to know what caliber your rifle is because a 300 win mag is a long action and a 308 win is a short action there is not 308 win mag. I would call mcmillan and tell them you want the a-4 for a Remington 700 right hand with the varmint contour factory barrel. I am sure as that would be a fairly common set up they have them in stock. You don't have to go threw all the custom fitting and that with these stocks. You can and should do it though.

As the financial reform bill wends its way through the Senate, one has to wonder whether lawmakers understand the true nature of the massive fraud that was perpetrated on this country. They should be listening to William Black.
Black, a former senior banking regulator during the S&L crisis and now a professor of economics and law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, has been speaking out over Wall Street's culture of criminality. He wrote the book The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One and knows all the white-collar criminal tricks from the inside.
To illustrate just how rotten the investment banks had become during the last decade, Black laid out in prepared testimony before Congress last month the way now-defunct Lehman Bros. was able to loot huge sums for executives, even as it was writing its own death warrant that would ultimately wipe out its shareholders.
A central part of Lehman's business was making and selling "liar's loans" under its Aurora subsidiary. It was a suicidal enterprise. These kinds of loans, where borrowers have an incentive to inflate income or assets, are set up to fail. Black estimates that every dollar lent on a liar's loan loses 50 to 85 cents.
In the short term, making these loans produces significant apparent but fictional income — and correspondingly huge bonuses for executives. Only later do the loans create real catastrophic losses for those holding them.
Lehman was the world leader in originating these loans. In the first six months of 2007, Aurora was lending more than $3 billion a month of subprime and liar's loans. This guaranteed senior management extraordinary paydays. Even as the fall was becoming evident, the firm's CEO and chairman, Richard Fuld, was awarded $40 million in total compensation for 2007. (Much of it in stock that later became worthless.)
Undoubtedly, the firm's top executives knew that making fraudulent loans was its primary source of income. But Lehman assiduously attempted to hide that fact, classifying its liar's loans as "prime" loans in disclosures, Black says. Had Lehman disclosed the true nature of the loans it was selling, no one would buy them and the firm would have been found out as insolvent.
To various degrees this kind of deceit was the business model of every player in the subprime mortgage lending and securities market: every bank that loaned money without documenting a borrower's credit worthiness, every firm that securitized loans without examining the lender's loan files, every accounting and law firm that helped fudge disclosures, and every credit rating agency that rated a mortgage-related security as safe without sampling the underlying loans.
It was a game of "financial don't ask, don't tell" as Black dubs it, that at its core was an epidemic of corruption.
Why was this allowed to continue even though the FBI warned as early as 2004 that mortgage fraud was massive? Because, Black says, officials at the Federal Reserve and Securities and Exchange Commission were ideologically opposed to fulfilling their regulatory role.
This recurring problem of regulators cozy with the industry they regulate means that financial reform must go beyond giving regulators more power and tools. It needs to impose clear legal duties on the financial sector with stiff consequences, which don't currently exist, for failure.
Two amendments offered by Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania would do just that. The first would impose a fiduciary duty on broker-dealers to act in the best interest of their investor customers, with criminal penalties for willful violations. The second would make those who aid and abet securities fraud civilly liable, a way to hold accountable all the professionals — appraisers, lawyers, accountants and others — who help cover the tracks of fraud.
Despite the recent swipe at Goldman Sachs by the SEC and a possible federal criminal probe, there has not been enough focus on the gross criminality infecting huge swaths of the financial sector. The economic meltdown was caused by deceivers, swindlers and defrauders who, in a just world, would be trading their pinstripes for prison stripes. If only.

Among his major accomplishments during 11 terms in Congress are successfully blocking a massive landfill planned for the Santa Clarita Valley and securing funds for construction of the cross-valley connector, Congressman Howard "Buck" McKeon. R-Santa Clarita, said in an interview with The Signal.
McKeon, who officially announced Thursday he will retire at the end of his current term this year, said when he moved into his first home in the Santa Clarita Valley, he was told the cross-valley connector was about a year away from being built. That was in 1964.
In reality, the connector would be completed in 2010 with the help of millions of dollars of federal funds McKeon secured.
"So to be able to get money to help complete that for the city and for the valley was very, very important and very meaningful," McKeon said. "And I was very happy to help do that."
McKeon also cited his success at blocking a planned dump in Elsmere Canyon by sliding land-protection legislation into an omnibus land use bill in the House.
McKeon was working with Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., who introduced the same protective legislation into the Senate version of the bill.
But the Santa Clarita Valley congressman was less successful at finding a permanent solution to protect Soledad Canyon from a mega-mine proposed by the cement-producing firm Cemex.
McKeon has introduced a series of bills in Congress to stop the mine in its tracks, but each has failed to make much progress.
McKeon's decision to retire comes in the midst of what some say represents the best chance yet to stop the mine legislatively — a bill introduced by Boxer that would use the proceeds from the sale of federal lands near Victorville to compensate Cemex for the value of its contracts.
McKeon has said he supports that bill and spoke at a recent Senate subcommittee hearing in favor of it.
He also said he was proud that he was able to pull in federal dollars to help with local rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of the 1994 Northridge earthquake. The 20th anniversary of that disaster is this today.
"It's a great feeling of accomplishment to be able to help during very trying times," he said.
Before he was elected to Congress, McKeon held local office in the Santa Clarita Valley. From 1978 to 1987, McKeon served on the governing board for the William S. Hart Union High School District.
In 1987, citizens voted to incorporate the city of Santa Clarita and at the same time elected McKeon as part of the first-ever City Council.
McKeon would later serve as the first mayor in city history. He was elected to his first congressional term in 1992.
"When I was elected, I thought I would probably be doing this for maybe 10 years," McKeon said. "The time has gone by very quickly."
In an interview with The Signal following his victory in November 1992, McKeon said he hoped to be a cooperative force in Congress.
"I think people are tired of partisan politics. The want to see us work together," McKeon said at the time. "I need to work with everybody to do the best job I can for our district."
McKeon was born in Los Angeles on Sept. 9, 1938, and grew up in Tujunga.
After graduating from Verdugo Hills High School in 1956, he left for a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Upon returning from his mission, he enrolled at Brigham Young University.
Later taking a break from his studies, McKeon married his wife, Patricia, and started a family. It was during this same period that he began his business career in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Just because he is retiring doesn't mean McKeon plans to go out with a whimper. After all, he still has almost a year left to serve on his term and some major issues, like Cemex, to work on.
"I've got a year ahead of me that's going to be very important," said the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

Hutasani Purnima is the full moon day in the month of Falgun or Phalguna (February – March) in traditional lunar Hindu calendar. Hutasani Purnima 2017 date is March 12. It is also known as Hutashani Fagun Sud Poonam. Holika Dahan ritual of Holi festival is observed on the day.
Legend has it that demon Holika took young Prahlad and sat on a burning pyre on the day but with the blessing of Lord Vishnu, Prahlad escaped unhurt and Holika was consumed by the fire. In some regions, it is believed that Lord Agni saved Prahlad and people lit bonfire to worship him.
People observe Hutasani Purnima on this day in remembrance of this victory of good over evil.
All dirt that had accumulated in the neighborhood is burned on the day.

A look at Seattle's plans to move in the fences of their ballpark to boost offense.
Over time, baseball teams develop identities, and even if the players change, the identities stay the same. The Yankees (and the Red Sox, for that matter) have cultivated a slow, plodding, methodical style of three-true-outcomes baseball that scores lots of runs and takes its time doing it. The Cubs, until recently, were the team who struck out the world when pitching and wouldn't take a walk to save their lives. The Twins were all about manufactured runs and control pitchers.
The Mariners have an identity, based largely around 1-0 losses and the brutal, crushing inevitability of death. And some of this can be attributed to the players—this is the team that has tried Adam Kennedy as a designated hitter in recent years. But as Egon Spengler put it, "It's not the girl, Peter, it's the building!" Safeco Park has been absolutely brutal on offense. This has probably not had much of an effect on wins and losses—what Safeco takes way from offense it gives back to pitching and defense. So Safeco isn't causing the Mariners to lose, it's just subtracting from the sum total of joy and happiness in the universe.

Why are home teams winning more now than in previous eras?
When I wrote my five-part series on home-field advantage in 2009, I noticed that it had been steady at about 54 percent for over half a century. It was 53.9 percent in the 1950s, 54.0 percent in the '60s, 53.8 percent in the '70s, 54.1 percent in the '80s, 53.5 percent in the '90s, and 54.2 percent in the 2000s. However, in the last three years, we have seen home teams win 55.5 percent of the 7,288 games played, a very statistically significant difference. Does this suggest that a large change has actually taken place, or is it just a coincidence? If a change has taken place, what is causing it?

Jim has the results of his reader architecture poll, with a few surprising results, and a few not-so-surprising ones.
Today we're presenting the results of the sports venue architecture poll that was introduced in my column of March 16. I asked would-be participants to rank--from an architectural standpoint--their favorite existing sports venues (not just baseball), their favorite defunct or no-longer-extant venues, as well as their least favorite. For the favorite poll, points were given on a 7-5-3-2-1 basis. For the other two, it was 5-3-1. The point totals are in parentheses after the venue's name. Thanks to all of you who took the time to fill out a ballot.

Taking park factors to the next level.
But a player's home ballpark only applies to half their games. What about the other half? Road games never enter into the equation. Conventional wisdom says that a team's away games are fairly evenly distributed, and the aggregate impact of all those different road parks will even out.

Baseball teams show a consistent home-field advantage each season, with homer teams playing about .540 ball. Is that edge due to home teams doing a better job of taking the extra base thanks to familiarity with their environment? James Click breaks it down.
The source of this advantage is unknown. It's been suggested that local knowledge, how to hit or pitch better in a team's more familiar home park, is the key. Perhaps some of the home team's advantage lies in knowing the nuances of their particular ballpark, but applied in a different area. It's possible that home teams may be better baserunners, knowing better than their opponents which balls will allow them to take the extra base.
Before getting into whether or not a baserunning advantage is the result of a particular park, it's important to first establish that parks do affect the baserunning in a consistent manner from year to year. To determine if park factors for baserunning do exist, I'll look at three typical baserunning situations where the runner is faced with the choice to take the extra base or not: a runner on first during a single, a runner on first during a double, and a runner on second during a single. There are three possible outcomes to each baserunning event: the runner can take the base he's supposed to, the runner can take the extra base or the runner can be thrown out.

"The Star Spangled Banner" is a march. It should be over in two minutes. Preferably it's sung loud, defiantly; it's not as good a piece of music as, say, "O Canada," but it's twice as proud. If you have ever heard it done properly, you will remember it forever.

I went to the game at Safeco Field Sunday afternoon. It was a good one, as the Mariners came back from a 7-1 sixth-inning deficit to win in extra innings, netting their second win at the new park.

Project-based learning thrills Tech Valley kid
By Zach Simeone
BERNE Tech Valley High, the Westerlo School, and a possible bus purchase were up for discussion last week when the Berne-Knox-Westerlo school board met for the second week in a row.
Xena Pulliam was a middle-school student at BKW last year when she submitted her application to spend her freshman year at Tech Valley High School in Troy. At the Feb. 9 school board meeting, Pulliam talked about her first semester at Tech Valley.
"She's really enjoying the experience," Superintendent Steven Schrade said this week, "and indicated her hope that the board would continue to provide the funds so she could continue her experience there."
The innovative high school draws on students from local Board of Cooperative Educational Services, with each participating district sending a student each year. Its programs are meant to serve as models for area schools.
The district is spending $18,000 to send Pulliam to Tech Valley this year, and, after a reduction in tuition, will spend $12,000 if she attends next year, said Business Administrator Timothy Holmes.
Pulliam found out she was going to Tech Valley High last spring, she said.
"The superintendent came to school and pulled me aside in class and told me I was going to be going," Pulliam said this week. "It was exciting, and the teacher got nervous when the superintendent walked in," she laughed.
Pulliam wanted to attend Tech Valley High because she thinks it will help her prepare for college, and hopes it will help her get accepted to a good school, she said.
Her mother, Amy Pulliam, is also pleased thus far.
"It's been a very good experience for her; it's made her grow up a little bit, and mature with handling responsibilities," Xena's mother said. "We're hoping she attends for all four years, but it's up to the [school] board."
At the beginning of the year, Xena was nervous about both the social and academic aspects of the experience, with meeting new people and taking on a different style of learning.
"It's all project-based learning, so, we do a lot of hands-on stuff," she said. "We went to the Hudson River and tested the water to see if it was healthy or not," she said, describing a day in her Environmental Analysis course.
One feature that Pulliam appreciates about the school is the smaller class sizes. "Everybody is a lot closer, and you form better friendships," she said. "At my other school, I had some close friends, but, here, everybody is really close."
In addition to Environmental Analysis, the curriculum for Pulliam's first year includes Global Analysis and Media Explorations (GAME), a combination of English and social studies, Mandarin Chinese, software training, health class, and art classes.
Her favorite, though, is Sustained Silent Reading, or SSR.
"We just read for, like, 40 minutes," she said, "which is great, since I love to read."
Westerlo School
Holmes, BKW's business administrator, met recently with representatives of the Helderberg Christian School, current occupants of the Westerlo School, and discussed the possibility of sharing the costs of certain items on the long list of needed repairs to the building.
The district acquired the Westerlo School when part of the Westerlo district merged with the Berne-Knox district. As BKW enrollment dropped, the school, which had been used for Westerlo Students in the primary grades, was closed. The Helderberg Christian School has since rented the space.
"They discussed a possible arrangement where the district would pay for the materials, and Helderberg Christian would provide the labor," Schrade said this week. "There was no decision made, but Tim [Holmes] was authorized to investigate that possibility further," he said.
The school board wanted to raise the Helderberg Christian School's rent, and then combine that with repairs on the building, Holmes said. "Since Helderberg Christian says it doesn't have the money to afford higher rent, the idea is for them to provide about $12,000 worth of service by doing these repairs," he said.
These repairs include water damage to bricks on the backside of the building, though Holmes said that there is "a discrepancy on what's causing the damage there, but we're talking about putting new gutters in the building." Other repairs would fix the pillars at the front of the building, and re-point the chimney.
In selecting these specific repairs, the district has prioritized a much longer list.
The school board has recently discussed selling the school, but, before doing so, the building would require $108,500 worth of repairs, Schrade said in December.
This total, Holmes said in December, includes: repairing brick on the building's exterior damaged by water and salt erosion, $30,000; repairing the exterior doors, $25,000; repairing the pillars at the front of the building, $5,000; repairing the water-damaged wood trim around the building's exterior, to be painted or wrapped with aluminum, $5,000; repairing the gutters at the front of the building, $4,000; re-pointing the chimney, $3,000; repairing the gymnasium floor, $3,500: removing an abandoned underground water-storage tank, $8,000; and connecting to the municipal water supply, as requested by the Albany County Health Department, the cost of which could range between $15,000 and $25,000, he said.
Earlier this month, Tammy Krueger, BKW's assistant director of transportation, recommended purchasing three 65-passenger school buses and two eight-passenger Chevrolet Suburbans for the 2009-10 school year, at a total estimated cost of $369,000.
"That was approved to go on the ballot at the May budget vote," Schrade said. The board voted 3-1 to place it on the ballot in May. Board member John Harlow was absent, and did not vote; Michelle Fusco cast the dissenting vote.

|do not go up the drainage! you will just get lost like we did the first time. go PAST the drainage until you reach the trail shown in the photo. follow the trail over the hill to the crag, 20 minutes or so from the road. the trail itself is at least 100 feet from the parking area. maybe 50 feet past the drainage.

|I may be wrong, but I believe that the pull off (going up the highway) to the Palisades Trailhead is after MP 19. The pulloff is on your left side going uphill, just before the Pasilades Visitor Center. Go down a gravel road for about a mile or so to the Palisades Trailhead sign.

I just got a call that there are some loose bolts on Pali Gap and Lords of Karma. DO NOT CLIMB ON THESE 2 ROUTES UNTIL I GET THIS FIXED.
I am going to go to the routes tomorrow and will assess what needs to be done. I will probably pull all of the hangers off tomorrow.

|The anchors and hangers have been pulled from Lords of Karma and Pali Gap due to a report from a climber of loose bolts. Yesterday, I checked all of the anchors, hangers and bolts by shock loading them with a Grigri backup and could find no loose bolts. Some of the hangers and one of the anchors needed routine tightening. I don't think there is anything wrong but shut down the routes and pulled the anchors and hangers

|Hard to believe this area wasn't in the Squeezing the Lemmon book. Easy to see it from lots of places on the road, once you recognize it. Directions are pretty good BUT, there's a gate at the top of the Organization Ridge Road (right by the Boy Scout Camp gate) which is apparently closed in the winter, so be prepared to walk down the dirt road for a ways before finding that well-cairned trail off left.
By Jimbo

Well lets see, most of the routes at the Outcroppings were put up in 2008. Squeezing the Lemmon II came out in 2000. That might be why there not in there.

|After about 10-15 minutes of walking down the trail, we encountered a junction with a large cairn. Left leads to the boyscout wall. Straight ahead leads to the outcroppings. I had a blast climbing the long pitches on the tall wall! Our party fixed a line at the top which made for quick single strand descents - everyone got to lead, and an easy double rope rap at the end of the day.

I was just wondering if anyone knows if letting a baby sleep in their swing all night okay? My babys 4 months & some nights she fights us, so I feed her & then put her in her swing & she knocks out. Some nights she's sleeps for 10 hrs! Please let me know if you can answer my question! Thanks :)
as long as nothing is around her face, id say go for it. i do it with my daughter and she is perfectly fine:)
DD sleeps in hers most of the time, day and night. She falls asleep and we put her in it.
It's ok every so often but I wouldn't do it all day and night. I forget why exactly, but I know there is some reason why it isn't suggested.
there is no problem with it as long as she is strapped in ....
as long as the baby is comfortable then go for it there's no harm in letting a baby pretty much choose where they fall asleep

Crescent and Iron Cross
In compiling the following pages I have had access to certain sources of official information, the nature of which I am not at liberty to specify further. I have used these freely in such chapters of this book as deal with recent and contemporary events in Turkey or in Germany in connection with Turkey: the chapter, for instance, entitled "Deutschland ber Allah," is based very largely on such documents. I have tried to be discriminating in their use, and have not, as far as I am aware, stated anything derived from them as a fact, for which I had not found corroborative evidence. With regard to the Armenian massacres I have drawn largely on the testimony collected by Lord Bryce, on that brought forward by Mr. Arnold J. Toynbee in his pamphlet _The Murder of a Nation,_ and _The Murderous Tyranny of the Turks,_ and on the pamphlet by Dr. Martin Niepage, called _The Horrors of Aleppo._

Just one thing, I'm not sure if Harry's History of Magic O.W.L wouldn't have counted, didn't he only leave a few minutes before it was finished? This is a really good chapter, easily worth my 10 rating, please update soon!

Author's Response: Wow, thank you!! It makes me happy to hear that! There's definately times when Tom acts quite normal, he and Harry just clash a bunch...lol
This story is so great! You should have Tom and Harry get mad at each other while there eating a meal, then have them get into a food-fight in Aunt Petunia's "clean kitchen!" That would be funny! Keep it up!! 10/10!!
Author's Response: Man, that's a great idea! I wish I could find somewhere to squeeze it in...that's such a good idea...aww...Thanks so much for reviewing!!!!

|It looks like the bridge area rock on the east bank of Rock Creek, which is located in the since closed climbing area. This is a large side stream that joins the Kankakee in the state park area. The DNR met with us years ago, but denied our appeal for climbing to continue. Closed since June '83. Some nice wicked routes there. Most have the overhanging start as the river undercut the limestone cliffs quite a bit. 5.9-5.10 starts are typical to get past the roofs.

Philadelphia -- Urban Outfitters reported Monday that profit for the first quarter declined more than expected, posting net income of $39 million compared with $53 million a year earlier.
However, revenue topped Wall Street's estimates, as the operator of Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People and Terrain banners saw sales rise 9% to $524 million. Same-store sales fell 5%. But direct-to-consumer (catalogs and online) same-store sales increased 15%.
In a conference call with analysts, CEO Glen Send said the chain is the final implementation of its order management system, a new planning and allocation system and the rollout of mobile POS systems across all three brands. It is also upping its investment in its new bridal brand, BHLDN, with a store opening in the third quarter in Houston and an early 2012 store opening in Chicago.
The company also said it plans open 50 to 55 new stores this year and remains on track with its long-term capital projects, including the addition of a West Coast fulfillment center and expansion of its home offices. It has budgeted fiscal 2012 capital expenditures of $175 million to $195 million.

How to report bugs
TrackerAll bug reports, feature requests and patches are handled by our tracker FlySpray. Please also read the notes on FlySpray on that page. Support requests are not to be put into the tracker, use the forums http://forums.rockbox.org, the mailing lists (http://www.rockbox.org/mail/) or IRC instead! Please be aware that by ignoring this you'll have the developers needing more time to sort the real bugs from support questions which is time consuming and takes up time that was better spend coding. Also, your problem may have arisen for some other users that could help you. You'll find a lot of helpful users (and also developers) in the forums and on IRC.
SupportThe tracker is not intended for support requests of any type! Tracker entries that are actually support requests are really boring and just keep the developers busy with sorting them out. If you're not sure if your question is actually a support request ask in the support channels (mailing lists, forums, IRC) first.
Known IssuesThere are some issues in Rockbox that we know can't be fixed anytime soon. These have already been reported and have been closed to avoid cluttering the tracker.
Filing a reportTo file a report please read the FlySprayHowto first. While it is important to report bugs it is at least as important to file them in a useful way. By following our nice FlySprayHowto this shouldn't be complicated at all. In every case, if you're in doubt please ask in the support channels first.

Malone Douglas County Law Library sponsored the Reels of Justice Film Series as a public service in its education and outreach program to promote a better understanding of the legal system in the community at large. The series featured films that were selected for their overall quality and for their portrayal of the legal system. Most of the films in the series were classics and featured major motion picture stars of the past and present. Films were screened four times per year, in February, May, August, and November.
In addition to the screening of a film, each program included commentary on the main theme of the film and the accuracy of the film in portraying the legal system. Whenever possible, the commentary was provided by a local attorney familiar with the film who also took questions from the audience.
This free film series was co-sponsored by the Lawrence Public Library and presented in the Lawrence Public Library Auditorium.
Films Exhibited in the Series:
Inherit the Wind - August 2006

|I broke off a few holds in working the route. One has some significance but probably does not change the grade. At the top a good crimp on right lets you grab a sidepull with the left before reaching up to the anchors. A few bits pulled off that sidepull and I then decided to skip it for a higher intermediate before grabbing the finish jug. Good route, big moves and bouldery.

|I dont think the grade was affected by those broken holds...I was never on it before but the grade felt good.
