Thing Statistics
It's easy to lose track of a perfectly level print bed. A quarter turn to one leveling nob here ... an eighth of a turn there to compensate for problems from print to print ... and whamo! Suddenly you need to re-level your print bed. Wouldn't it be nice if you could get things level, and then set some sort of indicator to tell you what orientation the nobs need to be returned to in order to reset the platform back to its original height? Well, now you can!
Please remember to "LIKE" if you dig it!
Shells: 1
Infill: 10%
Layer height: .1mm shown in pictures, but .2mm should work fine.
The concept is simple. These nobs press-fit onto the existing nobs used for leveling the print bed. But these printable nobs have a needle that indicates their orientation (state of rotation).
Once you've installed the nobs and leveled your print bed it's easy to use your finger (or fingernail) to rotate the needle on each nob so that it's pointing toward you. Once all 3 needles are pointing in the same direction you've locked in your "level" state. Any adjustments to the nobs is easily reversible returning the bed back to it's original level state.
Why would this be useful? Sometimes my print bed bends slightly after it fully warms up. A quarter turn on the right front nob fixes this and returns the bed to level. But once cool the nob needs to be returned back to it's original position. So switching between PLA (cool bed) and ABS (heated bed) requires this adjustment.
It's also sometimes necessary to raise or lower your platform by .05mm or so to get that first layer to stick. It's nice to know that a quarter turn works perfectly for this. But how do you tell if you've turned each nob the same amount? By making sure all three needles are pointing in the same direction.
It's also nice to be able to level your build plate with Kapton, and then turn the nobs a half turn when you need to print in PLA (and have thus applied a layer of painters tape over your Kapton). Once you're done with your PLA print you can remove your painters tape, return the nobs to their normal position, and resume printing in ABS.
To use, print 3 nobs and 3 needles. Make sure the needle is printed in a bright color like white or yellow. It's dark under the print bed! I printed my nobs in orange and my needles in black. I should have done it the other way around for better visibility.
Once printed, remove the two single support rings from the nob. These should pop off with very little effort. The purpose of the rings was to prevent the plastic from drooping during the print.
Press the nob covers onto the nob. It's convenient to use a smooth jaw vise for this, but you can also use a pair of smooth parallel jaw pliers - which are by far my favorite pliers ever!
Parallel Jaw Pliers:
If you use pliers YOU MUST USE parallel jaw pliers and allow the jaws to span the nob. Otherwise the nob will slip and the pliers will bend/deform the sidewall of the nob.
Once you've pressed the metal nob into the printed plastic nob the final step is to install the needle. This is a press-fit. The needle should slip over the nob with no issues.
When looking at the underside of the print bed, turning the nobs clockwise increases the distance between the nozzle and the build platform. Turning them counter clockwise decreases the distance.

Fantastic... now my makerbot is 0.034% self made :D hahaha.
I don't use the indexer, but the origional nobs were a pain to turn... this is so much better, thanks.
Glad you liked it! Yea, it makes the nobs a lot easier to turn!
I'm having the same issue. The knobs print fine but the needle only prints what appears to be the needle, not the base that attaches to the cylinder.
I used Makerware to slice and had no issues. What are you using to slice? You could always open the sketchup file and export from scratch.
Did you try the skinforge slicer too? ;) ... The knobs also printed better for me using skinforge.
For some reason I can't print the needle from makeware. It shows up as dark grey and wont export
I used Makerware with no problems when I originally printed it. No raft, just the needle - used the settings listed at the top. It's been a few months, were you ever able to print it or did you give up?
I never did get it to print using the latest version of makerware. The needle is still shaded out
Finally got around to fixing this little needle. Looks like the problem was a missing bottom from the model and some cracks around the top. I uploaded the manifold model as a remix. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:191247http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...
Did you try the skinforge slicer? ... I had better results with that.
This is a really great idea. I'll definitely be printing a set of these.
Thanks! Try a different color combination and see if you can get a better photo than mine. It's really dark under the print bed.

For anyone who is interested in swimming, having a new pair of swimming goggles is such a amazing thing. However, choosing a suitable swimming goggles for those who have not experience is not a simple thing. Most of the beginners don't get any advice from someone who has experience, so you may feel confused or get stuck in choosing a right pair of swimming goggles. In this article, we'll explain all the different kinds of swimming goggles to help you choose the right one.
Types of swimming goggles
The first and important thing you should notice is think about the type of swimming you'll do. Here is a list of various types of goggles you should know.
Type 1: Leisure Swimming / Frame Goggles
This swimming goggles has lenses that are attached to the surrounding frame. The frame usually seals with silicone or rubber is to keep water out of the eyes. The nose bridge of this type can be adjusted.
These are a common and comfortable type of goggles for many people, especially new beginners and intermediate swimmers. They have a full range of colors for frame and lenses from dark to light, from transparent to mirrored. The price ranges from very cheap versions to very expensive for polarized and mirrored goggles types.
Polarized lenses like normal sunglasses, but inside has the membrane with features to prevent horizontal polarized light reflected from lake or sea surface. The horizontal polarized light is blocked that will not irritate the eyes and the images are not blurred.
Type 2: Training / Competition Goggles
This swim goggles have round lenses and larger than Type 1, with better visibility by transparent glasses on the sides. The gasket is smaller than Type 1, but still enough to keep water out of the eye. The nose bridge can always be adjusted.
Wearing Type 2 goggles on the face looks smaller than wearing Type 1 goggles. The color of the frame and lenses are as diverse as type I. The price ranges from mid-range to very very expensive. Mirrored lenses are very popular for competitive pool swimmers. These can use in rough water and can be comfortable for swimmers in a long time of training.
Type 3: Swedish Goggles
Sometimes, Swedish goggles are also called racing or competition goggles, though Type 2 is used most commonly in competition. Swedish goggles lack gaskets around them. The lenses and the frame are constructed from a single hard plastic piece, look pretty small when worn. This hard plastic piece applies directly to skin. These are the smallest goggles and most streamlined shape. The nose bridge can be adjusted simply by a length of string, a piece of silicon or a swimming goggles strap.
Swedish goggles offer manually personal assembly and fitting. They have only one size. You can take a while to get accustomed to, but once you get used to them and adjusted to fit them properly. They're very effective that give you the ability to observe without any other kind of swimming goggles can be compared.
Some experience people use this type for marathon swimming. in the sea, lake, open water, the hard plastic piece can cause injury for users. However, this type doesn't work effectively when used in open water.
Despite its effectiveness and its popularity is amazing, but the cost of this type is one of the lowest price range. Swedish goggles have the longest lifespan because a nose bridge and a strap can buy easily and replace cheaply. They are usually preferred by athletes
Choosing swimming goggles
Those who have experience in swimming, often focus on safety and the shape of Type 2 and Type 3 goggles when choosing swimming goggles for the practice or even the competition.
For beginners or those swim just for fun, often choose Type 1 which pleasure feeling to wear.
The main function of all swimming is to keep water out of your eyes. When choosing goggles, there are some factors you should consider such as price, comfort, fashion, visibility, appearance, longevity, safety. Hope you'll find the right one for yourself.

Washington High School observed a moment of silence Monday morning in remembrance of the 20 boys and girls and six others killed Friday at their elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
The killing is the second deadliest school shooting in the United States, behind only the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007.
Washington School District Superintendent Dr. Lori VanLeer said her administration and entire staff are deeply saddened by the tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary.
"Our hearts go out to those families," VanLeer told The Missourian. "We love our kids and we care about their safety."
The superintendent said it is only natural for situations like this to raise questions and concerns.
"Our safety committee, along with local law enforcement officials, will meet this week to review our emergency plans and to ensure safety in all of our schools," she said. "This tragedy has caused schools across the country to examine their plans and we are no different."
The Washington School District is the largest school system in Franklin County with over 4,000 students in preschool through high school, and more than 650 staff members.
The district does have two school resource officers, who are Washington police officers. They work primarily at the high school and middle school. They also serve as D.A.R.E. instructors for the elementary schools.
Lockdown drills are practiced about twice a year, VanLeer said.
Parents and visitors to the district's elementary schools must be buzzed into the buildings, she said, while guests at the high school and middle school are required to sign in at the front desk.
"But when dealing with a forced entry, like what happened at Newtown, we must rely on our training and do the best and most brave job possible," she said.
VanLeer said the "core issues" behind what happened in Connecticut go far beyond schools.
"Local, state and national governments truly need to reflect and make resources available in the area of mental health services, crime control and drug awareness and prevention, for the good of public safety," she said.
Counselors Available
VanLeer said counselors, teachers and staff are available to help students talk about their feelings.
Tips for adults on how to talk with children about the Connecticut school shooting can be found on the district's website. The tips are from the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
Dr. Frank Wood, Washington High School principal, said staff members have been open with students, answering their questions and providing support.
"Our biggest issue thus far for students and staff is the 'why?' " he said.
"As far as safety, we will continue to have staff visible and encourage our students to report any activity that may be of concern or unsafe," he added. "We did a schoolwide challenge a week ago concerning safety, giving and support of each other. Our community and school will continue to value the safety and education of all our kids."
Keeping Things Normal
At St. Francis Borgia Grade School, Principal Keith Branson said he personally said a prayer Monday morning for the students and families of Sandy Hook Elementary, but chose not to make a formal announcement about the tragedy to the entire school.
"My goal is to keep things as normal for the students and staff as possible," he said. "If any student asks questions about it, we will do our best to answer them. Plus if it is really bothering the students, counseling is available at school."
Branson said school officials are constantly reviewing safety measures regardless of what is happening in the country.
"I am sure that all of our staff will be a little more cautious and on guard around the campus because of this tragedy," he said.
Borgia Grade School is a locked down campus, Branson noted, and all volunteers who come in the building must sign in at the office.
"Plus we have an actual security camera and door entrance system at the two doors that students and parents should be entering to and from," he said. "We tell the students that they should never let someone in at any door."
The Catholic grade school also has an emergency booklet that is reviewed by the staff every summer in-service and kept in each classroom.
"We have a code word that is used over the PA system if we have a critical or emergency situation in the building," Branson said.
Review Procedures
Across town at Our Lady of Lourdes School, school officials also spent time Monday morning reviewing security.
"We have identified a few areas where we will be making some modifications to further strengthen our security procedures," said Principal Rick Danzeisen. "Our Lady of Lourdes School does have a crisis manual, and the teachers are aware of what to do if certain situations should occur."
The St. Louis Archdiocese has sent Catholic schools information for parents on how to help children deal with tragedy. That information was sent home with students Monday.
"They also sent information for faculty and staff and that was given to them," Danzeisen said.
Nick Hopfensperger, principal of Immanuel Lutheran School, said as the events unfolded on Friday, the school sent an email home to all parents asking for their help in letting their own children know about the tragedy.
"Parents were encouraged to use their own judgement and to consider the age of their child(ren) in regards to sharing this information with them," Hopfensperger said.
Immanuel Lutheran is currently reviewing the safety measures it has in place, he said, but not only because of the recent events.
"We have practiced a lockdown drill once or twice in the past, but we will be reviewing our procedures, making changes if needed, and practicing them again in the near future," he said.
Doors leading into the school are locked from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., he added.
Pray for Victims
Like the other schools, St. Francis Borgia Regional High School spent some time Monday morning talking about its current safety procedures, both with staff and students.
"We also plan to talk to the police again and make sure our response and lockdown plans are what they should be," said Dr. Brad Heger, principal of the co-ed Catholic high school.
Borgia students and staff also took time out to pray for those impacted by the Connecticut shooting at the end of the day Friday and again Monday morning. Counselors and teachers have been available if students want to talk about the tragedy, Heger said.
The principal said with so many possible scenarios in regard to an intruder or intruders in and outside a building that it's difficult to know how to react.
"I think letting everyone know what's going on is important in such an event," he said. At Sandy Hook, someone was able to turn on the intercom system which authorities said probably saved lives because teachers knew to lock their doors and move students into closets or storage rooms where possible.
Heger said Borgia High will hold an additional safety training exercise in January. The school typically holds two a year.
"There were so many heroes in Connecticut and the staff did all they could," he said.
Heger said he was particularly moved when he read how one teacher refused to open the door to police without first requiring them to slide their badges and identification under the door to make sure it wasn't a trick by the intruder.
"That is something we have training on here," he said.
Student Safety 'Utmost Priority'
At St. Gertrude School, a letter went home to parents assuring them that the safety of students is the "utmost priority" and measures and protocols are in place to address emergency situations.
"I have reviewed the intruder protocol and lockdown protocol with the staff and will be discussing, reviewing and practicing these emergency procedures at our Jan. 9 faculty meeting," said Principal Mike Newbanks. "On Jan. 10-11, we will drill these emergency procedures, including severe weather procedures with the students."
All classrooms have phone access, Newbanks noted, and all teachers have walkie-talkies.
St. Gertrude also plans to work with local law enforcement to review and practice its emergency procedures.

Lupe Fiasco - WWJD He'd Prolly LOL Like WTF!!! Lyrics
Lupe Fiasco – WWJD He'd Prolly LOL Like WTF!!! Lyrics
Really? This is what you guys been doing?
[Hook 1:]
Before the break there were none
And as it broke there was one
From moon to sun, it goes on and on
The winter battle was won, the summer children were born
And so the story goes on and on
Come on woman in your left beats
Those in bed with the house keys
So fair weather feels heartbreak from here to eternity
Come on woman in your wrong time
Far far far from the virgin pine
Rise on now from the dead leaves
Come back to me
Oh, she sings her favorite song
Left to her tears and dreams, it goes on
[Verse 1:]
Standing in line for the new one
Not the black, but the blue one
And I don't even know what it do, son
Steve Jobs said that it's too fun
Fun in a bun is what I need
It's cold out here, put my arms in the sleeves
I'll probably lose my place if I leave
But I really need to pee
If I do it right here they'll see
Makes you wonder, how do snipers
Marathon bikers
Next time: diapers
They say it has all new features
Faster processors and much better speakers
Great for kids, a necessity for teachers
For work or home, a revolutionary way of being alone
I mean, should we really get a loan?
Hey what's the manager's… tell it to your phone
Cupertino heart with Chinese parts
Built by the poor, but designed by the smart
They open the door so you go
On your mark, get ready, set, bye
Imagine a world where everything starts with an I
But it still ends with a die
Probably got an app for that, you could try
Brother iClouds, right into the great wifi
Siri, can iGod really hear me?
"Does not compute – can you repeat more clearly? "
[Hook 2:]
A vessel in the bloodline
A thirteenth Zodiac sign
A stitch in time, it goes on and on
[Verse 2:]
Standing in line for some new Ones
Had a bunch of blessings but I blew them
Asked Google how to use them
Sent me to a section about used guns
New runs, nuns'll scream, moms with jeans
Match their teens' jeans and genies who try to chew gum
Aw man, it's so confusing
Confusion in the bun is what I have
Good thing that God accepts cash
Maybe buy my way out his wrath
Sceptically, why am I way off this path?
Atheism's cheaper, and accepts Visa
My thoughts is in queing up for sneakers
Won't discriminate, getting all eight
In every color that they make
Beaverton hearts with Chinese parts
Built by the poor and designed by the smart
On your mark, get set, cop em!
Imagine a life that revolves around shopping
Conspicuous consumption
That means it serves no other function
But to show off to someone
Others who only try to show off to you – look at your fellow loyal customers
Isn't harmony great?
Look at all these friends that marketing makes
How many fries can these arteries take?
I'll give McDonald's a little help here
I think they should expand into health care
And then you'll have all ends covered
Even make caskets, have it all umbrella'd
Can you make a corporation fear me?
"Couldn't hear your order, can you speak less clearly? "
[Hook 3:]
That witch was burning the ground
Will someday come back around
From dust from to dust it goes on and on
Before daybreak there were none
And as it broke there was one
And still the story goes on and on

OctopusME's Profile
I've found myself frustrated and unsettled until I found my way back in to a world of creating with my hands. Through Metal, I realize I am on my ultimate journey of life. Every day I find inspiration through people and in nature. And every day I am challenged with new ideas, possible actions and thoughts of where I am going. But what I realize is as long as I can keep on creating, it all really doesn't matter. The jewelry I've made is my journal without words. When I create, I can feel myself. Sometimes I think I should grow up, but then I realize this is it! I will always Play, Love, Have Passion, Gratitude and Act Stupid! :)
All of the work you see has been designed, fabricated and metal worked by my dirty little fingers! I hope you enjoy Playing in the shop!!

I have a business trip in a couple of weeks to the Norwood/Sharon MA and Laconia NH areas and was looking for dinner and lunch recommendations. Nothing too pretentious or pricey - just great food and service (too much to ask for?)
I've been around the Laconia area more frequently (always seem to make the drive up to "Canoe" in Ctr Harbor) but haven't been to the Norwood/Sharon MA area in some time.

For some faculty members at SFCC, the problems inherent in the developmental coursework system were already apparent—and they've already devised ways to correct them.
Credits: Alexa Schirtzinger
Computer and Information Technologies Chairwoman Phyllis Baca—whose "overarching goal," she says, is to double the number of engineers in New Mexico with an emphasis on under-represented minorities in the field—has spent the last four years creating what she calls "multiple entries and exits" in SFCC's engineering program.
The goal, she says, is to widen career fields—so that instead of attending school for years to receive a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, a student can earn a certificate in computer-aided drafting or an associate's degree in applied science.
"Life does happen," Baca explains. "Even that one kid who's so focused on doing the bachelor's [degree], life might happen to him, and then suddenly they need a certificate; they just need to get out and start making money."
Baca says widening students' options also benefits the school.
"It's just such a ripple effect because the kids strive for that higher goal—engineering—but they have so many outlets and inlets that we're able to start filling our other programs," Baca says. By providing achievable goals, she says, she's seen calculus and computer courses fill up in unprecedented numbers.
"I'm in total, total shock," Baca says. "The first year I came, there was one student in one engineering class, and they were thinking of closing the program."
This year, she says, between 12 and 16 students will graduate with associate's degrees in engineering—which is a boon not just to them, she notes, but also to fomenting a high-tech sector in New Mexico.
Baca rattles off a list of what she's actually doing to implement that change—paid summer field studies, weekend field trips, conferences. But perhaps most importantly, Baca has developed a first-year course without prerequisites, so students have a chance to try their hand at engineering from the outset.
Kilpatric, too, has already worked to implement aspects of SFCC's planned First Year Experience—in the form of a course that compresses his general math and pre-algebra classes into a single semester. The product, he says, will allow students to knock out their developmental math requirements in a single semester, rather than having to finish one course before they start another.
Kilpatric sees that as part of his job. "Until we get a program developed," he says, "we kind of are the first year experience."
Still, he says, piecemeal faculty efforts are not enough.
"We try to do a lot of things to be supportive," Kilpatric says, "but without an overreaching program that kind of connects between the classes, it's hard to be that effective in terms of really creating that experience for the students where they feel part of the community and they feel that they know what to expect and what's going to be expected of them."

by Team Fathom
Destination: Australia
"I'm counting down the days until my trip to Australia later this month. Most of it will be spent in Queensland, where I'll hop around the Whitsunday Islands, snorkel and sail on the Great Barrier Reef, and see the famous Whitehaven Beach. I keep reading about the Chocolate Room at Hayman Island so I'm looking forward to checking that out as well.
My next stop will be Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territories, which was just named one of Lonely Planet's Top Ten Cities in the World to Visit in 2012.
Last stop is a few days in Sydney, which is one of my favorite cities so I'm excited to go back — particularly because I'll be there to watch the famous Australia Day Sailing Regatta on Sydney harbor."

Schenectady, NY, United States, 2014/12/10 - GE announced that it will provide two of its highly efficient and flexible 7F.05 gas turbines to Calpine Corporation (Calpine) for the York 2 Energy Center - GEPower.com. NYSE: GE
GEs Two 7F.05 Gas Turbines and DLN 2.6+ Technology to Provide Enhanced Reliability to the PJM Interconnection Region, Including 13 States and Washington, D.C.
Fuel Flexibility Allows for Use of Clean-Burning Natural Gas and Backup Ultra-Low-Sulfur Diesel Fuel Oil.
GE announced today that it will provide two of its highly efficient and flexible 7F.05 gas turbines to Calpine Corporation (Calpine) for the York 2 Energy Center, a nominal 760-megawatt, dual-fueled, combined-cycle power plant that will be located near York, Pennsylvania, adjacent to Calpines existing York Energy Center in Peach Bottom Township.
The new electric generating facility will provide capacity and energy to PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization that helps ensure the reliability of the high-voltage electric power system serving 61 million people in 13 states and the District of Columbia. The new plant will have the capacity to generate the equivalent power needed to supply nearly 800,000 homes for a year.
Calpines York 2 Energy Center will use GEs advanced 7F.05 gas turbines in a 2x1 combined-cycle configuration with GEs Dry Low NOx 2.6+ dual-fuel combustion system, which reduces NOx emissions to as low as 9 parts per million during gas-fired operations without using water injection technology. NOx emissions will be further reduced through the use of a post-combustion selective catalytic reduction treatment system.
The GE gas turbines being installed at the York 2 Energy Center also can operate on ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel oil to provide enhanced flexibility and power plant reliability.
Were confident that our 7F.05 gas turbines will provide Calpine with higher reliability, efficiency and increased power output as well as a better life cycle value, said Vic Abate, president & CEO, power generation products at GE Power & Water. Additionally, the flexible, dual-fuel capability of GEs units is increasingly important to help ensure power reliability in the PJM region.
PJM coordinates and directs the operation of the regions transmission grid; administers a competitive wholesale electricity market; and plans regional transmission expansion improvements to maintain grid reliability and relieve congestion.
GEs gas turbines will be built at the companys Greenville, South Carolina, facility, and equipment delivery is expected in December 2015.

We're happy for the win, but those kids weren't satisfied. They understand we had chances to really have a great game. We turned a great first half into a second-half nightmare. —Clearfield first-year coach Andre Dyson
When it mattered most in Week 2, numerous defenses came up huge.
Five teams tried two-point conversions Friday night to either win a game in overtime or tie it up late, and incredibly the defenses denied all five.
Dixie and Summit Academy both prevailed in overtime by stuffing two-point conversion attempts, while Clearfield, North Summit and Union all hung on to win when they denied tries in the fourth quarter.
North Summit's stop was certainly the most noteworthy, as it snapped Duchesne's 48-game winning streak with the 14-12 victory.
"We told them all week that it was going to be a battle both physically and mentally. Our coaches did a good job in preparing a good game plan, but it was the kids, they just battled like crazy," North Summit coach Devin Smith said.
There was still 8:15 remaining when Duchesne missed the two-point conversion, but North Summit came up with another big stop on a fourth and 4 in the final minute to the seal the victory in the 2A vs. 1A showdown.
Duchesne wasn't the only 1A team snake bit by a failed two-point try — a painful reality for the Rich Rebels.
Last season they lost the 1A title game after getting stopped on a two-point conversion in the final minute, and it happened again on Friday as Summit Academy prevailed 21-20.
Summit Academy scored first in overtime, but Rich responded with a Koy Brown 1-yard touchdown on a drive aided by a big third-and-25 reception by Wyatt Muirbrook. Despite converting both regulation extra points, Rich's coaching staff didn't hesitate going for two in overtime on its home field.
Summit Academy's defense got a ton of pressure on Brown though as he rolled out to pass, and he had no time to make an accurate throw.
"It was a big win for us. They beat us the first year we played in 1A, and they beat us last year, and they beat us in both JV games too," said Summit Academy coach Scott Gorringe.
Dixie beat Lehi in double overtime 49-48 in similar fashion to Summit Academy when it forced an incompletion on a two-point try.
Lehi initially lined up to kick the extra point, but after a timeout decided to go for two. Dixie coach Blaine Monkres said he never considered going for two after his two overtime touchdowns, but admits sometimes it's just a gut feeling to try.
"You get a feel for how the flow of the game's going, if you've got a chance to make it, if you have something that works," said Monkres.
Dixie went to that well with 3:48 remaining in the game after Trenton Miller gave Dixie a 33-28 lead on an 18-yard TD run. Monkres knew his team needed to try for two, and McLane Keenan converted with a run, increasing the lead to 35-28.
It proved to be a very important conversion as Lehi tied the game at 35-35 with 28 seconds remaining.
Union beat North Sanpete 23-21 when the Hawks came up short on a two-point conversion with 4:21 remaining.
Clearfield beat Bonneville 42-40 by stuffing a two-point try with 4:15 left in the game. It capped a wild second half in which Clearfield nearly wasted a 35-7 halftime lead with five second-half turnovers.
"We're fortunate to get out of there with the victory. We cannot let that happen again," said Clearfield first-year coach Andre Dyson. "We're happy for the win, but those kids weren't satisfied. They understand we had chances to really have a great game. We turned a great first half into a second-half nightmare."
Fortunately for the Falcons, like four other teams in Week 2, they made the key defensive play when they had to.

Who is popular amongst MP3 thieves in your area?
Revealed: The most illegally downloaded artists in UK cities
Tags: Ed Sheeran
The illegal downloading habits of UK residents were revealed today, with worrying details of MP3 pirates made public. And they sure do like a lot of Ed Sheeran...
Most worried, (or should that be flattered perhaps?), will be Ed Sheeran who was revealed by the MusicMetric figures to have his album '+' downloaded illegally around 55,000 times a month.
However, it was the locations tool which intrigued us the most. Simply bash in a postcode and you can find out which artist is most regularly downloaded for free in your area. Simple.
So, we have done just that for all the major towns and cities we could think of. Clearly, with the aforementioned stats in mind, Ed Sheeran was number one in a lot so in that case we have gone for the second highest ranked artist. Also, as London is so big we went for the areas with the most identifiable characteristics - Essex, Chelsea and Shoreditch.
Who is popular in your neck of the woods? Take a look through the pictures to find out now.

30 years into AIDS epidemic advocates say financial resources are diminishing
December 1st marks World AIDS Day. The theme for this year is "Getting to Zero"—meaning zero new infections, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths. More than one million Americans are HIV-infected, and in some high-risk groups, infections are rising. Regional organizations working in HIV prevention report that what's headed toward zero is their funding.
In 1981, doctors were first describing symptoms of a disease that would later become known as AIDS. Thirty years later, health professionals and advocates say they have gained a lot of ground in treating and preventing the disease—maybe so much so that for many people, HIV and AIDS don't carry the same urgency they once did.
"People start to think of it almost as cured, when in fact we are far from it," said Keith Egan, who heads the South Jersey AIDS Alliance. He says in addition to getting less attention, a slow economy and tight federal and state budgets have meant dwindling financial support for HIV- and AIDS-related work.
"We have had significant reductions in grant funding over the last two years, significant reductions in donations and some of our fundraising revenue," said Egan.
Egan's sentiments are echoed by advocates in Pennsylvania and Delaware, who all report that funding as well as concern for HIV and AIDS are diminishing.
Lee Carson is a researcher at Public Health Management Corporation in Philadelphia (disclosure: PHMC contributes to funding WHYY's Health and Science desk). "Most organizations across the country—and Philadelphia is certainly no different—are really struggling with challenges of keeping their doors open," said Carson. "They are struggling to keep the programs afloat that they have, and really having the kind of funding they need to have the impact on the epidemic that we desire."
Advocates say they are committed to continue their efforts in preventing and treating HIV and AIDS, and that they have made important gains in terms of doing effective prevention work targeting specific high risk groups.

A man accused of killing 14-year-old girl in 2007 and leaving her beaten and bloodied body in a vacant Golden Hill home, pleaded not guilty Monday to murder and other charges.
Antero Cruz, 23, was arrested last week in connection with the death of Ahlyja Pinson on New Year's Eve nearly three years ago. He also faces a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, stemming from a hit-and-run incident in September.
At the end of a brief arraignment, San Diego Superior Court Judge David M. Szumowski set Cruz's bail at $1 million. Cruz faces a possible sentence of 33 years to life, if convicted on all counts.
Deputy District Attorney Kristen Spieler told the judge Monday that Ahlyja suffered 17 head lacerations and more than 70 puncture wounds to her upper body, injuries that made her body "virtually unidentifiable." She was identified through dental records three days after her body was found on Dec. 31, 2007.
Authorities have said Cruz's sister-in-law was an acquaintance of Ahlyja's.
Spieler said Monday that Cruz's then-girlfriend came home the day of the killing to find Cruz alone with the young girl. After a brief confrontation, Ahlyja left the house and Cruz left about 10 minutes later.
That afternoon, a witness saw Ahlyja enter an abandoned home on E Street at 29th Street with a person fitting Cruz's description. That was the last time Ahlyja was seen alive.
Later, Cruz was seen wearing a shirt that appeared to have blood on it, and the next day witnesses saw him scrubbing the trunk of his car with bleach. Subsequent testing of the trunk revealed biological evidence that connects Cruz to the killing, the prosecutor said.
Cruz was arrested at his Logan Heights home about 10 days after the slaying, but the District Attorney's Office canceled his arraignment pending further investigation. He was held for violating a 2006 conviction for car theft, then later released.
Eventually, new information led to Cruz's Thursday arrest.
Outside the courtroom Monday, Spieler declined to give specifics as to why it took so much time to charge Cruz with murder.
"Some investigations we are able to prosecute very quickly and others require months if not years of investigation," Spieler said. "What I think is important is the San Diego Police Department homicide detectives never forgot Ahlyja.
"They never gave up on this case, they never put it on a shelf," she said.
Spieler said Cruz — a documented Logan Heights gang member — is suspected of trying to run over a rival with his car in September, then fleeing. The pedestrian suffered a leg fracture as a result of the collision.
After the arraignment, Ahlyja's mother, Adriana Pinson, thanked police and prosecutors for their work on the case and said she was thankful to know a suspect was behind bars. Once again, she said she always knew the day would come when Cruz would be charged.
Pinson said the person responsible for Ahlyja's death deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison "so my beautiful daughter can have justice."

Two reputed gang members have been arrested for a shooting that wounded a 7-year-old girl in San Diego.
City News Service says an 18-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy were arrested Sunday.
Police believe the 16-year-old pulled a gun a day earlier and wounded 21-year-old Martin Barnett, who'd exchanged words with the teen and another gang member.
Barnett was struck in the upper arms. A bystander, 7-year-old Laura Castello, was struck in the leg.
Both are expected to recover.

He was using peta flops to generate coins.
The National Science Foundation of the US has banned an unnamed professor found to be using government funded supercomputer to mine bitcoins.
National Science Foundation (NSF), a US government agency that supports fundamental research and education in all the non-medical fields of science and engineering, found the professor using supercomputers at two universities to mine the virtual currency.
NSF Office of Inspector General in its semi-annual report said, "The researcher misused over $150,000 in NSF-supported computer usage at two universities to generate bitcoins valued between $8,000 and $10,000. Both universities determined that this was an unauthorized use of their IT systems."
"The researcher asserted that he was conducting tests on the computers, but neither university had authorized him to conduct such tests — both university reports noted that the researcher accessed the computer systems remotely and may have taken steps to conceal his activities, including accessing one supercomputer through a mirror site in Europe."
Following the report, NSF has terminated access of the researcher to all NSF-funded supercomputer resources while he has been banned government-wide.
Over the past year, bitcoin mining has become computing resource intensive, and miners are deploying increasingly powerful computers to be on the driver seat in the intense fight to pocket the crypto currency.
According to an estimate last September the entire mining network clocked 1 petahash/second rate, which is 40 times higher than what it was in January 2013.

Raleigh, N.C. — Cloudy skies will be the worst weather that Christmas travelers have to contend with in North Carolina this weekend.
"It looks like it's going to be fine, smooth sailing getting on in here around the area," WRAL meteorologist Mike Moss said.
Temperatures will settle into seasonable normals – mid 50s during the day and upper 30s at night – for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Saturday will see a mix of sun and clouds, with high clouds rolling in during the evening. Skies will be dry for Santa's flight overnight, though, and sunrise on Christmas Day is at 7:23 a.m. Sunday will be cloudy.
(Wishing for a white Christmas? Take a look back at 2010, when 12 inches of snow fell.)
"It doesn't look like we're going to see rain through the course of Saturday or Sunday," Moss said. "If there's any that's close to us, it looks like maybe a sprinkle or two down toward the southern coast, and that would be about it."
The chance for rain doesn't return to the Triangle until a front rolls through late Monday into Tuesday, he said.

The economic ascent of The Netherlands continued in 2000. The 2001 budget presented by the government in September was the first since 1950 to show a surplus (when budgeted, rather than after the fact, as were those for 1999 and 2000). It featured substantially raised expenditures in such categories as education, research, health care, and infrastructure plus roughly 7 billion guilders ($2.8 billion) for tax relief and 20 billion guilders ($7.9 billion) to pay down the national debt at an accelerated rate.
On May 13 the nation was shocked when the city of Enschede suffered one of the largest disasters in The Netherlands since World War II. An explosion in a fireworks warehouse and the subsequent fire left at least 21 people dead and nearly 1,000 injured. Some 400 houses were destroyed, and many more were damaged. An investigation into the causes was ongoing, but it appeared likely that hazardous materials had been stored on the premises without a permit.
Several politicians attempted during the year to launch a reevaluation of the role of the monarch in Dutch government. It was generally accepted that Queen Beatrix chose not to exert all the influence that she was granted by law, and the questioners suggested that at least this more limited practice should become a matter of legislation and that perhaps the role of the monarch should officially be made purely ceremonial. The proposal was rejected for various reasons, including an unwillingness to change a system that was perceived to be working well, a sense of historical connection with the House of Orange since the 16th century as a symbol of national unity and identity, and the general popularity of the queen and the crown prince. Two landmark pieces of legislation were passed late in the year. In November the parliament voted to allow physicians to end the lives of seriously ill patients who have asked to die. The Netherlands thus became the first country to legalize mercy killing and doctor-assisted suicide. In December the government gave final approval to laws that allow same-sex couples to marry and to adopt children.
The discovery by British Customs and Excise of 58 deceased illegal migrants in a Dutch truck intensified discussions of the role and treatment of migrants. The related issue of the status of immigrants in The Netherlands and the question of how the nation could be a more fully multicultural society also remained important topics of debate. The government aimed to offer more courses in Dutch language and citizenship to improve immigrants' opportunities for integration.
The year was a significant one for Dutch-Japanese relations. Both countries celebrated the 400th anniversary of the first arrival in Japan of a Dutch trading ship. As The Netherlands, particularly those citizens with ties to Indonesia, also memorialized the 55th anniversary of the Japanese capitulation that ended World War II in Asia, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori expressed apologies on behalf of the Japanese people.
Dutch athletes took home 25 medals from the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, significantly more than they had on any previous occasion. (See Biographies: Inge de Bruijn.) The record had been 19 at the Games in Amsterdam in 1928. In October protesters against globalization demonstrated in Amsterdam during a conference there attended by the president of the World Bank.

Kanye West, Yeezy, 'Ye, Kan-yeezy, Yeezus… Whichever name you choose to call him by, one thing for sure is that he came to the Bay to leave an impression on his fans. Whether you love or hate him, there's no denying that he can put on a stage show like no other! The 'Yeezus Tour' first stopped at the SAP Center in San Jose last night and is headed to Oracle Arena in Oakland tonight.
When I first heard that Kanye was coming, I KNEW I had to make sure I was there! Of course I also knew whatever stage show Kanye was going to give us, it was going to be larger than life, over the top and not to mention to one hell of a concert! And you know I was right on with that. Before I tell you about last nights' concert, can we just talk about the opening act? OMG it was my man, one of my favorite artists, Kendrick Lamar!! What a great way to kick off the night than watching Kendrick roll through his hits flawlessly. Hearing him flow through so seamless was great to watch. My only complaint during his set was he came out in a plaid, hoodie vest type shirt and he kept his hood on most of the night. I wanted to see his face!! He looks too good to be hiding behind a hoodie all night. LOL— C'mon Kendrick, I know you wanna get in the zone, but some of US wanted to see your face at least. LOL–
So let me first tell you about Kendrick Lamars set. Let me not forget to tell you first that he even had a live band playing along during his set. I loved it. Just to help out those going to Oakland tonight, get there on time please. You don't want to miss any part of his set! I was surprised that the concert started at 7:35pm. When the lights went out. I thought where's everyone at?? There were still so many seats open, but I had seen lots of people outside the arena and at the beer and souvenir stand! I felt like I should've went outside and said, "Get inside already, Kendrick is on! The show is starting now people!" LOL— I didn't of course. I guess you can't blame people for taking there time getting inside. Usually concerts don't start on time so people get into the habit of taking there time, leave late and know when they get there they're still waiting for the show to start. NOT THIS TIME!!! So leave early, give yourself time to be stuck in that 880 Nimitz traffic so you don't miss out tonight.
I have to admit, when I saw Kendrick come out in his plaid, hoody shirt before he even said a word, I thought, "Is that Clyde Carson opening up before Kendrick?" I was still surprised the show was early I guess. LOL– But soon as the 3 big screens on the stage lit up with images of L.A. in the background, I knew it was my man!! I was so in the moment of watching him live for the first time ever, I can't remember in the exact order of what songs he did. But, here are some of the highligts that I can remember:
Money Trees
Swimming Pools– Everyone was vibing to this track and had made it to their seats!
F****** Problems– YES!!! I was wondering if he would do this song and was happy he did the whole track, all the verses. Everyone was on their feet rapping along with him on this one!
Just whe you thought Kendricks set was on fire already a special guest came from behind the stage and walked towards the second stage Kendrick was on. Guess who it was??? No other than the Ambassador of the Bay, Uncle Earl, 40 water, E-40!!!! The crowd went bananas and camera phones were flashing away like nothing I had seen so far that night. So what song would they do together?
Function– Always great to see E-40 get love from the artists that aren't from the Bay too. Kendrick has mentioned E-40 not only in interviews but in his music as well as one of his influences. He even said to E-40 while he stood there after they just performed that E-40 was an artist he used to listen and learn from as a kid, so it was an honor to share the stage with him. The 2 rap superstars hugged it out and did ONE more track.
B****– I was hoping Too $hort was going to join them, but no luck- but it was still great watching them both run through the song. Then as quickly as 40 came out, he was gone after their 2 tracks. After that crowd-pleasing moment set the bar for the rest of Kendrick's set.
B**** Don't Kill My Vibe– Yes I knew this one word for word so I had fun doing it with Kendrick from my seat too! LOL– yes, I can hold my own with the hip-hop as much as with all the Disney songs I know thanks to my babies. LOL-
Poetic Justice– One of my favorites from Kendrick and loved that everyone was excited to hear it too.
Then he went into a song that I like to think was catered to me…
Hail Mary– Yes, the Tupac classic!!! Everyone was up out of their seats and rapping along, "Do you wanna ride or die la da da da da da." I LOVED it!!
'M.A.A.D. City'– I think this was the only glitch in his set. He was doing this one (I think) and his mic cut out for a verse or so. You heard the backing track and you can hear him a little bit but Kendrick kept going! He didn't miss a beat! True professional!
Kendrick ended his time on stage with a freestyle that was just him. No band, no background music that had everyone attention. He was getting deep on his verses. I felt like I was at a slam session. I didn't know whether to clap or do the snaps. I loved it though! If you're going tonight, get there early and get ready to party with Kendrick and who know maybe some surprise guests too!!!
Now it's time to tell you about Kanye's stage show! Lights went out at 9:03pm and right away you can feel like we are in for a show like no other. The stage was set up with 2 seperate stages seperated by a catwalk connecting them together. The stage looked like a big iceberg or being the huge Disneyland fan that I am, I thought of the Matterhorn ride! Imagine that on stage! The smaller of the stages looked like a floating iceberg in the shape of a triangle. That smaller stage would rise up, and even bounce up and down at times as Kanye jumped on it. Very cool.
The first thing you see isn't Kanye walking out, but 12 ladies wearing long white robes and what looked like nylons over their heads. It was kinda eerie. The background music was haunting. I noticed there was no big screens like you see at other shows I'd been too…. at least not yet. The screen would make an apperance later though. The ladies got into their strategic positions and Kanye walked out ready to do work! He took off his jacket and the spotlight lit him up and you realize he's wearing a mask as only Yeezus could pull off. Here's the set list I came up with. I didn't get everything so feel free to fill in my blanks- I was having too much fun or taking a moment to figure out what I was watching on that stage to remember them all! So here we go….
On Sight Great song to start the night with!
New Slave
Send It Up
Mercy– I have to say by this time, you could tell who hadn't really heard the latest album. But everyone seemed to know this one of course. It's one of my many favorites of the night! Plus it's a track I play over and over on my iPod when I'm working out.
Remember how I had said that I was curious why there were no big screens? This is where a round screen appeared over the icy looking mountain on the big stage. The first thing on the screen was the definition of "rising"- with a female voice reading it. That lead into his next part of the set.
Cold As Ice
I Don't Like
I'm A God– On the screen it zoomed in on Kanye's mask. Yes he wore different masks for almost the WHOLE show!! You could see it was a black mesh with what looked like black diamonds and red rubies or rhinestone looking. The ladies who wore long white robes earlier in the night, were now in nude nylon suits. It looked like they were completly nude, but of course they weren't. Their faces were still covered too. Kinda freaky.
Can't Tell Me Nothing– So happy to hear that one. Another track I know word for word and the whole San Jose crowd was going along with Kanye, "La la la la wait till I get my money right…" Such a fun performance. But it was time to get a lil serious.
Kanye sat down on the stage and talked about how when he was traveling to London because of the success of the 'Graduation' album, he found out that his Mom had passed. He thought he was on top of the world, nothing could touch him so he thought. He said he questioned the world and how it works. He questioned his faith. When he said that, then the whole show that I had just seen so far finally made sense to me. I now understood how the rest of the night was going to go. He then did another track that seemed to really touch him. Again I'm guessing since he had a mask on and you couldn't see his face.
Coldest Winter– It was a nice way to see him do a tribute to his mom.
After that song, the stage lifts up high into the air and then the creature with red eyes that were lit up comes crawling all over the small triangle iceberg stage. Then the creature disappears.
I'm In It– This part of the show had those nude looking ladies dancing all over the floor and then later on started rubbing up on Kanye. I looked over at my husband and we both said, "Where's Kim?"- LOL– Then it was like I was watching the cover to his 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' album cover come to life. LOL–
Heartless– The crowd loved this one especially since it broke up all the craziness with those ladies rolling around on stage.
Blood On The Leaves– Kanye brought out the fire on this one literally, explosions went off on beat to the track. It looked cool-
After that performance, the big iceberg mountain on stage started to break apart. In between that the ladies in their white robes again carrying religious items like candles, insense holders, statues and a cross. I guess we were getting set up to go to church, get ready!
Runaway– Great to see him perform this and the crowd loved it just as much. Everyone was excited to sing along, "So I think it's time for us to have a toast to the douch bags, a toast to the a*******, a toast for the scumbags. Everyone of them I know…" It was more toned down than what we had seen so far. He wasn't jumping around or going stage to stage, so it was cool to just see him up there with a mic, but still with a now another different mask on now.
I Wonder– So glad he did this track! I was happily surprised!!
Hey Mama–
Stronger– This was cool visually to watch. Yet another mask was unveiled on Kanye and it was super shiny and lit up the stage like a light show everytime he stood in the way of the green and blue lasers. Very cool!
Through The Wire– I was hoping to hear it, and I'm glad he took it back to the beginning.
Then all of a sudden a man dressed in a white long robe comes out and walks slowly towards Kanye. The crowd is fixed on the 2 men. Was it who we think it is? Is this really happening? He's brought Jesus on tour with him?? LOL– Then Kanye says something like, "Is it you white Jesus?" It was hard to make it out cuz the crowd was so loud. Just as I was waiting to hear Jesus and Yeezus have their big converstation… Jesus' microphone wasn't nearly as loud and I couldn't hear a thing. Go figure- Jesus had a soft voice. I could make out bits and pieces though. Then all of a sudden Kanye gets on his knees like in church and it's as if he's praying. Then just as slowly as he walked out, Jesus left the stage. Only to make a reapperance at the top of the huge iceberg to watch over the next performance. You can guess what was next….
Jesus Walks– My all time favorite track from Kanye. It was amazing to see him perform it and everyone bouncing their heads or hands along with him and all under the watchful eye of Jesus. Very surreal- but I say the high point of the show. After that performance more of the crowd friendly hits started coming out back to back. And at this point, the mask finally came off and we were able to see his face! It was as if symbolically Kanye was finally free and ready to let loose and play the party tracks!
Flashing Lights– Loved this one too!
All Of The Lights– The ladies were back out on stage but positioned along the iceberg holding these big red thick flare like fire-sticks. It looked cool-
I could tell the show was about to end but not before Kanye wanted to do, "a shout out to the birthday girl, my love, my fiance' sitting back there." Kanye pointed to the VIP seating section behind the sound booth and sure enough- there was Kim Kardashian. Such a cute moment. It was an awwww moment. If you're going tonight, look in that area you might spot Kim and family.
Then Kanye just walked to the back and off the stage. No goodbye, no see you tomorrow in Oakland, no thanks for coming and the arena lights went on and people started leaving. It was over just like that. No 'Golddigger', no 'Good Life', no 'All Falls Down' — now I know you're thinking, "come on Mary he can't do ALL his songs?" I was surprised that he didn't touch those huge chart topping hits. Why not Yeezus??
I was glad to hear stuff from the new album too though. I'm just an all around Kanye fan. I like that he's different than any other artist. He doesn't care what people say, or think of him. Sure he gets a bad rep, but you can't deny his musical talent and smart business sense. It might as well be as large as his ego! But he can back it up— He took thousands of people through his life journey for a few hours last night and maybe even some to church in a way with all the religiousness of the show who might not have been in awhile.
We witnessed his journey, as rough as it has been last night on that stage. So for those of you going to Oakland tonight get ready for the ride. Get ready to see somethings that will confuse you, make you smile, laugh and finally understand why he's the way he is. LOL- Either way, get ready to party with Kanye, Kendrick Lamar, maybe Kim Kardashian again, Kendrick Lamar's special guest…hint hint…and yes even Jesus!! C'mon you can't beat that!

De-beefing the mad cow myth
Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:32:46 GMT —
After a case of mad cow disease was discovered in California, people in southwest Georgia want to know if this could affect the food chain.
Local health officials say no. Mad cow disease shouldn't be a concern for consumers because the presence of the disease is so rare in this country.
Experts say the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a strict surveillance process to check for the disease and make sure it doesn't get into the food chain.
"When they have a dead cow, they randomly pick them for surveillance and this happened to be one of the young cows that they picked so because of that and because of just how rare mad cow disease is, we're in good shape," says Jacqueline Jenkins, Southwest Georgia Health Department Epidemiologist.
She says cases discovered in the past have been associated with foreign travel.

Letter to the editor:
The other day, I had a rare treat - a wonderful heart-to-heart talk with a dear old friend who disagrees with me about the Willits bypass. One of the many branches of our conversation was prompted by her statement that people have a constitutional right to protest. I think some other folks may have the same idea.
While the First Amendment protects speech and assembly, there is no constitutional right to trespass and engage in civil disobedience, ignoring police officers' orders to leave government property. I have been a criminal defense lawyer for 20 years. I do not specialize in First Amendment law but I know the basics. No one has a constitutional right to go on private or public property without permission and disrupt activity there. The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech, free assembly, and to petition the government for redress of grievances. Bypass protesters have every right to speak, to lawfully assemble with each other, and to petition the government for redress of grievances - i.e. to file a lawsuit to stop the bypass, which they have done.
With a few exceptions the First Amendment prohibits government interference with speech based on its content. You can't lawfully threaten to kill someone or yell fire in a crowded theatre. But you have a constitutional right to say that you think the government is wrong or you want the president impeached or you want a road construction project stopped. You cannot constitutionally be punished by the state for speaking your mind.
The government can't control the content of speech but it can impose reasonable restrictions on the time, place, and manner of expression. So the government can prohibit protesters from occupying a particular public place at a particular time. It cannot prohibit all protest against a bypass or against police misconduct or gay marriage or abortion or any other issue. The government must treat all viewpoints equally in regulating the time, place, and manner of protests.
The fact that property is owned by the state does not mean that everyone has a right to go there and disrupt the business going on there. Even though it's public property, you can't lawfully enter a courtroom or public school classroom or city hall office and interrupt to make a speech about whatever issue you feel passionate about, never mind chain yourself to someone's desk and keep them from working.
The right to free expression is not absolute. It must accommodate other legitimate interests - i.e., the government's interests in orderly court proceedings, effective classroom instruction, and ministerial duties - i.e., the Clerk's Office issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples. If right wing protesters tried to occupy the Clerk's Office to protest gay marriage and disrupt the issuance of marriage licenses, they would likely be arrested. I don't believe any court would hold that the protesters had a constitutional right to disrupt the lawful business of the County Clerk's Office. Similarly no court would hold that the bypass protesters have a constitutional right to trespass on Caltrans' construction site and disrupt the lawful business of its subcontractors.
Trespassing is a crime. Resisting arrest is a crime. Escaping from police custody is a crime. The First Amendment has nothing to say about such crimes. A gathering on someone else's property, including the state's property, without permission is not a lawful assembly protected under the First Amendment. And it is not a defense to prosecution that the protester felt morally compelled to break the law.
I hope someone finds this information helpful. If you want to read more, Wikipedia's articles on the First Amendment and various topics linked there are pretty good in my opinion.
Willits, CA
