Fox Touts Walker Win As Validation Of Harmful Austerity Policies
Economists agree that austerity measures in a weak economy lead to less growth and fewer jobs, and the condition of Wisconsin's jobs market, which is lagging much of the rest of the country, is consistent with that fact. Nevertheless, Fox News figures are spinning Gov. Scott Walker's recall win as proof that budget cuts "will help our nation as a whole with the economic woes that we face."
Experts: Austerity Hurts A Weak Economy
IMF: "Fiscal Consolidation Typically Reduces Output And Raises Unemployment In The Short Term." From the IMF's 2010 World Economic Outlook:
Based on a historical analysis of fiscal consolidation in advanced economies, and on simulations of the IMF's Global Integrated Monetary and Fiscal Model (GIMF), it finds that fiscal consolidation typically reduces output and raises unemployment in the short term. [IMF, World Economic Outlook, 10/10]
Wash. Post: IMF Paper Shows "Austerity Does Ugly, Ugly Things To A Country's Economy In The Short Term." From Brad Plumer writing at The Washington Post's Wonkblog:
In a new paper for the International Monetary Fund, Laurence Ball, Daniel Leigh and Prakash Loungani look at 173 episodes of fiscal austerity over the past 30 years -- with the average deficit cut amounting to 1 percent of GDP. Their verdict? Austerity "lowers incomes in the short term, with wage-earners taking more of a hit than others; it also raises unemployment, particularly long-term unemployment."
Now, this doesn't mean fiscal consolidation is never worth pursuing. Some countries do run up against unmanageable debt levels. And the IMF cites a number of ancillary benefits that come from reducing deficits, such as lightening the burden from interest payments. But the historical record is clear: Austerity does ugly, ugly things to a country's economy in the short term, which is why the IMF now recommends passing deficit-reduction plans that kick in only "when the recovery is more robust." [The Washington Post, 9/13/11]
Krugman: European Economic Problems Are "A Failure ... Of The Austerity Doctrine." In a January 29 New York Times column titled "The Austerity Debacle," Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman noted that "Britain is doing worse this time than it did during the Great Depression" and that "Italy is also doing worse than it did in the 1930s." Krugman attributed both of these situations to the "failure, in particular, of the austerity doctrine that has dominated elite policy discussion both in Europe and, to a large extent, in the United States for the past two years." From The New York Times:
Last week the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, a British think tank, released a startling chart comparing the current slump with past recessions and recoveries. It turns out that by one important measure -- changes in real G.D.P. since the recession began -- Britain is doing worse this time than it did during the Great Depression. Four years into the Depression, British G.D.P. had regained its previous peak; four years after the Great Recession began, Britain is nowhere close to regaining its lost ground.
Nor is Britain unique. Italy is also doing worse than it did in the 1930s -- and with Spain clearly headed for a double-dip recession, that makes three of Europe's big five economies members of the worse-than club. Yes, there are some caveats and complications. But this nonetheless represents a stunning failure of policy.
And it's a failure, in particular, of the austerity doctrine that has dominated elite policy discussion both in Europe and, to a large extent, in the United States for the past two years.
The infuriating thing about this tragedy is that it was completely unnecessary. Half a century ago, any economist -- or for that matter any undergraduate who had read Paul Samuelson's textbook "Economics" -- could have told you that austerity in the face of depression was a very bad idea. But policy makers, pundits and, I'm sorry to say, many economists decided, largely for political reasons, to forget what they used to know. And millions of workers are paying the price for their willful amnesia. [The New York Times, 1/29/12]
Nobel Economist Stiglitz: "More Austerity" In Europe Is "A Mutual Suicide Pact." A January 17Telegraph article quoted Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz calling further austerity measures in Europe a "mutual suicide pact" and pointing out that "even though they see over and over again that austerity leads to collapse of the economy," European politicians are calling for "more austerity." From The Telegraph:
Imposing austerity measures as countries slow towards recession is a fundamentally flawed response, said Mr Stiglitz, who won the Nobel prize in 2001 for his work on how markets work inefficiently.
"The answer, even though they see over and over again that austerity leads to collapse of the economy, the answer over and over [from politicians] is more austerity," said Mr Stiglitz to the Asian Financial Forum, a gathering of over 2,000 finance professionals, businessmen and government officials in Hong Kong.
Mr Stiglitz pointed out that 700,000 public sector jobs had been cut in the United States in the past four years, removing demand from the system as unemployment spikes. The UK is set to lose a similar number by 2017.
Instead, Mr Stiglitz argued the best economic medicine is infrastructure spending, especially on transport and energy projects. He pointed to China as one country that had successfully combatted financial crises with stimulus packages. [The Telegraph, 1/17/12]
Christina Romer: "Because Of The Harsh Effect Of Budget Cutting On Growth, Debt-To-G.D.P. Ratios In Europe Have Continued To Rise." In an April 29 New York Times op-ed, Christina Romer, University of California at Berkeley professor and former chairwoman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, noted that "austerity is uniquely destructive" in the current economic climate. From The New York Times:
It has been two years since moves to austerity started, but the crisis is still with us. Growth in European gross domestic product was negative in the last quarter of 2011. Unemployment in the entire euro zone in February was 10.8 percent; in Spain it was an astounding 23.6 percent. And judging from the renewed turbulence in bond markets, investors don't believe that prosperity is just around the corner.
Fiscal austerity is normally a sensible response to a loss in confidence in a country's solvency, as has occurred in parts of Europe. But the current situation is exceptional. Short-term interest rates are very low, so large rate reductions to offset the negative impact of budget cutting are impossible.
The result is that austerity is uniquely destructive right now. Indeed, because of the harsh effect of budget cutting on growth, debt-to-G.D.P. ratios in Europe have continued to rise. [The New York Times, 4/29/12]
Dean Baker: United Kingdom Has "Given Us ... A Beautiful Example Of How Austerity Wrecks An Economy." In a May 1 Al Jazeera op-ed, Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, noted that, in the example of the United Kingdom, "It sure looks like the austerity critics won this one." From Al-Jazeera:
We have now had almost two years to evaluate the effects of the UK's austerity policy, which is longer than most governments get to test the results of their policy experiments. After all, President Obama got his head handed to him in the November 2010 elections, which were just 20 months after the passage of his stimulus package.
It sure looks like the austerity critics won this one. While interest rates have remained low in the UK, this has been true of every wealthy country with its own currency, regardless of whether or not it was pursuing an austerity path.
The UK economy does not appear to have done any better in terms of the rest of the picture. If austerity boosted business leaders' animal spirits, it is not showing up in the data. Nearly every component of the private sector has contracted over the past two quarters with construction leading the way, falling at a 0.8 per cent annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a 12.0 per cent rate in the first quarter of this year.
But there are many people in positions of power who want to push austerity for reasons that have nothing to do with economic growth - and they are prepared to lie, cheat, and steal to advance this agenda. For this reason, however much we may sympathise with the people of the UK for their suffering, we should be thankful that they have given us such a beautiful example of how austerity wrecks an economy. [Al Jazeera, 5/1/12]
Former WH Economist Jared Bernstein: Austerity "Doesn't Work Here, It Doesn't Work In Europe, It Doesn't Work For State And Local Governments." In a May 4 Rolling Stone blog post, Jared Bernstein, a former White House economist and current Center on Budget and Policy Priorities senior fellow, wrote that austerity "doesn't work here, it doesn't work in Europe, it doesn't work for state and local governments." From Rolling Stone:
This just in: AUSTERITY DOESN'T WORK!
It doesn't work here, it doesn't work in Europe, it doesn't work for state and local governments. I'm tempted to ask how many data points we need to recognize this crucial economic truth, but I'm afraid data points don't have much to do with it. [Rolling Stone, 5/4/12]
Indeed, Wisconsin Has Seen Some Of The Worst Jobs Growth In The Country
BLS: Nearly 13,000 Jobs Lost In Wisconsin Since January 2011. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that since Walker became governor in January 2011, Wisconsin has lost 12,800 jobs, as of April:
[Bureau of Labor Statistics, accessed 6/4/12]
Journal Sentinel: Wisconsin's Jobs Numbers During Walker's First 13 Months In Office Was The "Worst Among The 50 States." In March, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel compared job gains and losses among all 50 states between December 2010 and January 2011 and found Wisconsin's performance under Walker to be the "worst among the 50 states" :
[Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/15/12]
Fox's False Spin: Walker's Win Shows Austerity Is The Right Idea
Hannity: Without Budget Cuts And Jobs Growth, Walker Would Have Been "Thrown Out Tonight." From Fox News' Hannity:
HANNITY: If [Walker] wasn't able to take that $3 billion deficit, turn it into a $150 million surplus, if he didn't create jobs, if he didn't have unemployment under the national average, this wouldn't have happened.
HUGH HEWITT (radio host): Oh, he'd be thrown out tonight
HANNITY: He'd be thrown out tonight. [Fox News, Hannity, 6/5/12]
Palin: America Will Realize That "Austerity Measures Of Reining In Government Growth Really Will Help Our Nation As A Whole With The Economic Woes That We Face." From Fox News' On the Record with Greta Van Susteren:
VAN SUSTEREN: Your thoughts on tonight's news that Governor Walker is the winner?
PALIN: It is such good and encouraging news, Greta. It's good for the entire country because people are going to recognize through Governor Walker's efforts that austerity measures, responsible austerity measures of reigning in government growth really will help our nation as a whole with the economic woes that we face. This is positive news, and I think that Wisconsin is living up to its state's motto -- that providential motto of "Forward." They're moving forward. They're going to help to lead the charge for the rest of the country -- reigning in government growth, allowing the private sector to be the ones to create jobs. [Fox News, On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, 6/5/12]

Boo (1932) - Albert DeMond
Oh dear, some of the rubbish I watch does amaze me sometimes. Other times I feel like hanging my head in shame. In this instance I guess it falls somewhere in between. Boo is cobbled together using footage from Nosferatu, The Cat Creeps and Frankenstein. Over this DeMond has seen fit to add what he obviously thinks are witty remarks, which are narrated by one Morton Lowry (his only claim to fame as far as moving pictures go). It's like an early version of What's Up, Tiger Lily?, but without the laughs. Not big, not clever, not good. Even at 9 minutes long it's best avoided.

Your child will start to display certain physical and mental developmental skills, also known as developmental milestones. Please keep in mind, development is slightly different for every child. If you have concerns about your child's development, please talk to your child's healthcare provider. At 15 months, most children can:
Choose your child's meals from the basic food groups.
Your baby should be drinking everything from a cup by 15 months of age. Wean off the bottle, and no night time bottles or cups after bed and teeth brushing. Although your child can have most of the same foods as the rest of your family, there are a few exceptions. Avoid highly spiced or fried foods.
Avoid nuts, fruits with seeds, grapes that are not diced into small pieces, raw carrots, popcorn, hard candy, gum or hot dogs until your child is at least 4 years of age when he or she can chew better. Do not give large pieces of food. Eating time should be quiet and structured whenever possible. No walking, running or talking while chewing. Supervise all meals and snacks.
The actual nutritional requirements are quite small at this age, and children thus tend to be picky eaters now. Your child's appetite may vary from day to day. Keep servings small and try foods again at a later date.
Your baby may show a passing interest in the potty chair or even tell you when he or she is wet; however, toilet training will be much easier if you wait until your baby is ready, usually at around 2 to 2 ½ years of age. Some families may start this early, but it will require patience, dedication, and keeping realistic expectations.
Your toddler will be active and on the go most of the time. He or she continues to want to show independence but needs a safe place to explore and needs constant supervision. Imitative behaviors such as sweeping, dusting, playing with dishes and dolls will increase at this age. Hitting and biting also can begin, especially if they are seeing these behaviors in other children or adults.
Discipline is a form of teaching and guiding your child to help him or her learn self-control, to respect other's rights and to live by society's rules. Toddlers need reasonable limits set to help them learn what is expected of them and to protect them from harmful situations.
Be Consistent. Most 15-month-olds understand the meaning of "no." You must be consistent to teach your children that "no" means "no" for the same thing all of the time. Sometimes they do not listen to verbal commands so they may need to be removed from the particular situation and shown what "no" means. Also, "choose your battles" and ignore minor behaviors; save "no" for key priorities.
Be Proactive. Anticipate problems and avoid situations or activities that might harm or frustrate your child. Try to avoid outings during nap time, late at night, or noise/crowds that can overwhelm young toddlers.
Avoid Hitting and Yelling. If your toddler breaks a rule, remove him or her from the problem area and encourage some other activity. Avoid slapping or spanking at this age, since your toddler will find this action hard to understand. If parents show loss of control by hitting or yelling, they will be teaching their children to display similar behavior when they are frustrated.
Use Time Outs. Time out is a healthy discipline strategy that can be used as early as 15 - 18 months of age. It can be used each time your child breaks a serious or known rule. An example of a behavior necessitating time out is biting others. Being consistent is one of the keys to effective discipline.
You should discipline your child each time he or she breaks a predetermined rule. This instills a sense of security for your child. The time out place can be a chair or room. Ideally, it should not be a fun place where toys or TV are accessible. Studies show less time is required if the child cannot see the parent. Time out can also mean simply removing attention or objects from your child.
To be effective, time out should be about one minute for each year of age. However, the time starts after he or she has calmed down. After the time out is over, reassure your child that you love him or her and the "specific behavior" is the reason why he or she was in trouble. At this young age, you may use redirection to other activities, or time out to remove them from a situation of danger or defiance. Keep it very brief as a 'break' in their negative behaviors. Most 15 month olds will not sit on a chair or do typical 'time out' yet.
Research shows you can expect your child to attempt to escape from time out about 70 percent of the time during the first week. If you are consistent with time out, escape attempts will occur hardly ever by the fourth week. Once the undesirable behavior has decreased, you may use time out intermittently.
Praise Correct Behavior. Praising good behavior may prevent your child from learning to misbehave in order to gain your attention. Say things like, "I like it when you help me pick up your toys." Think 'time in' and play with them, give attention when they are being good too.
Manage Temper Tantrums. As children realize there are rules to follow, they sometimes respond with acts of frustration and anger, such as holding their breath, temper outbursts and full-blown temper tantrums.
At this age, temper tantrums are very common and are children's response to frustration. In these situations, you may try to engage your child in other activities before his or her anger escalates. For example, if your child tends to cry for sweets at the store, do not go down the snack aisle. When a full-blown temper tantrum begins, ignore it and walk away. In these instances, toddlers may bang their heads; however, no more harm than a bruise will occur. Do not laugh or make fun of your child. When the tantrum stops, give your child your attention. This is hard to do when they make a scene, or fall to the floor, but the less attention or over-reaction, the sooner these tantrums will improve.
It is recommended for toddlers to sleep in their own beds and, if possible, in their own rooms. Establish a consistent time for bed and routine.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), unintentional injuries are one of the leading causes of death in children 1 – 4 years of age in the United States. Most of these injuries can be prevented. At this age, children can walk, run, climb and explore. However, they do not understand danger adequately. The following tips will help you keep your child safe.
Prevent Pedestrian Injuries. If your baby plays outside, a fenced yard and constant supervision are necessary. Streets and driveways are very dangerous.
Practice Poison Safety. Check storage cabinets for fuels, paints, cleaning products and medicines. Either lock them up out of reach or throw them away. It is no longer recommended to have syrup of ipecac on hand. If your child ingests or is splattered by a product that may be dangerous, call the American Association of Poison Control Centers immediately at 800.222.1222. Tell them what and how much your child swallowed.
Practice Water Safety. Never leave your child alone in the bathtub or near a pool of water even for a second. Children can drown in two inches of water. They are not capable of learning to swim at this age. When children are near water, they should always wear an approved life preserver and be supervised by an adult. Wait until your child is closer to 5 years of age to get a pool. If you already have a pool, install a fence that separates the house from the pool. The pool should be fenced in on all sides with a 4-foot high fence. The gate should be self-closing and self-latching with latches higher than your child's reach. Drowning is the most common fatal injury at this age, and it usually occurs when a toddler is not adequately supervised around water.
Prevent Burns. Check smoke detector batteries every month and replace them at least one to two times a year. Turn the hot water heater down to 120°F. Make sure your child does not have access to lighters or matches. The kitchen is a dangerous place for toddlers, especially when you are cooking. Turn handles of skillets away from the edge of the stove. Do not leave hot liquids on counters or tabletops. Also, do not carry them near your child or carry them while holding your child. Place hot foods out of the reach of small children. Teach them the meaning of "hot." Try to keep your child in a safer place while you are cooking such as in a playpen, high chair, crib or under the supervision of another adult. If your child does get burned, put cold water ONLY on the burned area immediately, loosely cover it and call your child's doctor.
Car Safety. Because motor vehicle accidents are the number one killer of children ages 1 - 14, it is important to transport children in the safest way possible. This sobering statistic reminds us that even if you are a careful driver, you cannot eliminate the possibility of an auto accident. Child safety seats are made to properly restrain a child in the safest way possible. Below are some of the most common tips:
Prevent Household Accidents. Secure doors that lead to stairways, driveways or storage areas. Use guards on windows, wall heaters, stoves, fireplaces and electric outlets. Remove sharp-edged furniture and breakables from your child's play area.
Avoid Tobacco Smoke. At this age, your child is more at risk for developing respiratory and ear infections. Passive smoke in your child's environment is proven to be linked to more frequent respiratory and ear infections.
Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for children and infants. CPR is a procedure that can be done to save a child's life if their heart or breathing stops due to events such as choking, drowning, electrical shock, serious trauma or suffocation. This is offered in many local organizations to family members.
Firearm Safety. It is best to keep guns out of the home. Handguns are especially dangerous. If you choose to keep a gun, keep it unloaded and in a locked place separate from the ammunition. Also ask about guns in the homes that your child may visit.
Sun Safety. Sunburns at any age increase the risk of skin cancer. Protect your child with sunscreen, SPF 30 or greater, and/or protective hats and clothing. Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and then reapply every two hours if outside for a long period of time. However, sunburn can occur even with sunscreen—avoid the hottest parts of the day or stay in shade whenever possible.
Depending on your provider, at the 15 month wellness visit your child may receive a series of immunizations. You may give Tylenol® or Motrin® if your child is fussy or has a fever.
In addition, the flu vaccine is recommended annually for everyone 6 months and older as soon as it is available. The vaccine protects against influenza, which causes severe respiratory symptoms along with a high fever for four to five days.
Your child's next wellness visit should occur at 18 months of age.

By Elizabeth Williamson and
An upscale party in Connecticut became a 'super spreader.' Here's how.
About 50 guests gathered on March 5 at a home in the stately suburb of Westport, Conn., to toast the hostess on her 40th birthday and greet old friends, including one visiting from South Africa. They shared reminiscences, a lavish buffet and, unknown to anyone, the coronavirus.
Then they scattered.
The Westport soirée — Party Zero in southwestern Connecticut and beyond — is a story of how, in the Gilded Age of money, social connectedness and air travel, a pandemic has spread at lightning speed. The partygoers — more than half of whom are now infected — left that evening for Johannesburg, New York City and other parts of Connecticut and the United States, all seeding infections on the way.
The party "may be an example of the kind of thing we call a super-spreading event," said William Hanage, an associate professor of epidemiology at Harvard, especially since some of the partygoers later attended large social events in the New York metropolitan area, where cases of the virus are high.
Worry, rumors and recriminations engulfed the town. Political leaders fielded hundreds of emails and phone calls from residents terrified that their children or vulnerable family members had been exposed. Who threw the party, and who attended? They wanted to know. Rumors flew that some residents were telling health officials they had attended the party so they could obtain a scarce test.
As the disease spread, many residents kept mum, worried about being ostracized by their neighbors and that their children would be kicked off coveted sports teams or miss school events.
One local woman compared going public with a Covid-19 diagnosis to "having an S.T.D."
"I don't think that's a crazy comparison," said Will Haskell, the state senator who represents Westport. He has been fielding frantic phone calls from constituents.
"This is life or death," he said in an interview. "Westport really is a cautionary tale of what we're soon to see."

"Chaos" is the much anticipated debut record of teenage band Unlocking The Truth from Brooklyn, New York. As three black males from the home of Hip Hop it is quite out of the ordinary they have found Metal but that's hardly whats remarkable about the trio. Established in 2007 the band weren't even teenagers when they got started out. Youtube is littered with videos of these three as kids playing on the streets of the famous time square in downtown New York. At a very young age front man Malcolm Brickhouse developed an admirable attitude for life, citing a strong work ethic and desire for following his dreams of making a success of his band. Considering the band have toured with Metallic at least one of those dreams has been fulfilled. For a debut record its a solid introduction to the band. In its best moments they show sparks of being a rather special act, however a fair few tracks drift into obscurity with underwhelming riffs fixed into standard song structures. The point though should be that their is much to get excited about, they show a ton of potential.
Pinpointing their specific sound and style isn't exactly easy but they do have a broad appeal about them. Its Metal that's not about extremities or some over encompassing theme or aesthetic. In Malcolm's guitar style can be heard hints of Slipknot, Metallica and Disturbed and in terms of style, Nu, Alternative, Groove, Heavy Metal and quite often Metalcore. Its a blender that gives the album quite a diverse set of riffs however the simplistic song structures tone down the differences on display. His singing style is also a strength for the band, laying down clean vocals with a force and grit to them that work great for the metallic tone. In moments he moves to screams but nothing menacing, on one or two tracks dropping in a slight growl. Lyrically the album is loaded with light digestible language, some of which is somewhat angsty and there are plenty of great chorus hooks that will get you singing along.
For a trio they sound full of power and strength on the record, the production gives the baselines a real thudding clunk and dense tone, the guitars fill out the space above with a welcoming, satisfying distortion tone that's got energy, spirit and aggression without over doing it. The drums sound fantastic, very roomy and authentic sounding symbols. The snare is sharp and the pedals sound fab, very deep and audible, the cutoff is fast but you can hear every kick so clear. Great mix for a reasonable record which does have a weak stretch between "A Tide" and "Numbing". These songs weren't quite to my taste however they did have some strong riffs. I think this debut really highlights their potential to do great and we certainly get a taste of what they are about.
Favorite Song: Monster, Made Of Stone, Ravens, Escape, Take Control
Rating: 6/10

Strawberry Fields organic arugula, organic spinach, strawberries, snap peas, cucumbers, cilantro, local feta, spicy sunflower seeds, lime cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette
It was one of the most boring salads because it was mostly greens with not much else. It would have helped if there were more strawberries, feta and cucumbers to make it a more balanced salad.
Mexican Corn Elote Bowl warm quinoa, organic arugula, roasted corn + peppers, tomatoes, shredded cabbage, local goat cheese, spicy sunflower seeds, lime cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette
My husbands choice was better than my salad. It was more flavorful and a more balanced salad.

Two years ago, my parents and I headed down to Nationals Park in Washington, DC, to see our Cardinals play the Nationals. This was before the Nationals were any good -- baseball people knew they had some stars coming up through their system, but this was still in the "have to overpay free agents to even get them to consider coming there" period -- and the place was one-third full, tops. We found seats behind the Cardinals dugout for less than face value. This likely isn't going to happen again anytime soon.
In the top of the first inning, Ryan Theriot singled up the middle, and as Colby Rasmus walked to the plate, Albert Pujols stepped onto the on-deck circle. Cardinals fans may still be a little sore at Albert, but there's no denying what a figure he cut, and still cuts, the minute you see him on a field. He came out of the dugout like a boulder about to go screaming downhill. When you see greatness, even in repose, it can sort of take your breath away. This was the last year of Albert's contract, and no one knew quite what was going to happen. It gave every one of his appearances an added bit of urgency.
I noticed something else, though, when he came out of the dugout. All at once, at least seven different people, all from difference sections in front of us, when they saw Albert, leapt out of their seats and began running down toward him. I couldn't figure out what was going on: Where was everyone going? Then I realized: They were trying to get Albert's autograph. While he was in the on-deck circle. An usher, who, depressingly, appeared to see this sort of thing all the time, cut them off at the pass, explaining that, no, players don't typically sign memorabilia when they're about to bat in a Major League Baseball game. The fans walked away, dejected, almost offended. He's right there. Why can't I just ask him right now?
Nationals fans are improving along with their team, a little. During my trip there earlier this week, there were more fans, with a better understanding of the decorum of attending a sporting event, than last time. (They also did an excellent job of booing Pete Kozma, a positive sign for a fanbase: Knowing who your historical tormentors are, and punishing them.) Still, though, they've got a ways to go. They just don't get all the little things. The Nationals ushers follow the excellent policy that no one can be allowed into their seating section until an at-bat is over, but to a man, every Nationals fan "suffering" under this policy complained loudly and vociferously. By the end of the game, a 3-2 Cardinals victory, it was mostly Cardinals fans left in the lower sections. We even got a Let's Go, Cardinals! chant in there, and weren't drowned out. As a home crowd, you can't let that happen, not in a one-run game, not when you have one of the best teams in baseball.
This is still all sort of new for the Nationals and their fans, though, and I understand: They're just not quite there yet. Last year, Sports On Earth's own Patrick Hruby wrote a piece for the Washington Times explaining how Nationals fans were still sort of learning on the job how to be baseball fans, and it definitely takes time. The Nationals aren't even a decade old, and most of that decade has been spent with lousy teams. One of the reasons the Nationals and their fans took that NLDS loss to the Cardinals so hard -- Bill Barnwell's Grantland piece at the time, which literally ends with weepy Nats fans playing "Everybody Hurts" on the jukebox, sums it up quite well -- is that last year had been such a giddy, fun season, the sort of year that brings tons of fans onto the bandwagon, the sort of year you think nothing can go wrong. As painful as it was, that loss will help Nationals fans in the long run. It'll give them gravitas, it'll put hair on their chest. It'll sift out the fad fans. It'll make sure they earn it.
This is a natural progression for new fanbases. I've been seeing this a ton just down the street from my apartment here in Brooklyn, with the Nets. The Nets have had a perfectly acceptable first season in Brooklyn, even if you wonder if Mikhail Prokhorov is gonna freak out and fire everybody if they lose in the playoffs, and Barclays Center has been mostly full all year. It still doesn't feel like a real fanbase yet, though. There aren't a lot of old New Jersey fans who have crossed over -- though as an Arizona Cardinals fan who came with them from St. Louis, I can appreciate those who did -- and many of the fans are affluent Brooklynites just flattered their artisanal cheeses and diaper elimination communication are being recognized on a national level. (Or people who just spend the game looking for Jay-Z.)
There's no history with this team, no inherent deep connection, and the arena feels like it. Barclays Center is a lovely place to watch a game, but it's not a kinetic place to experience one yet; by design, you feel like you're watching a theater production, like you're being held at considerable remove. That can be overcome by an engaged, fiery fanbase, of course, but the Nets are too new for that. It's a tourist attraction at this point, a crowd enjoying themselves in a welcoming environment, but not banded together in a collective froth.
I've been at playoff games at both Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center this week, and, needless to say, the difference between the MSG crowd and the Barclays crowd is roughly analogous to a thrash metal concert and your fourth-grader playing his recorder. Both crowds are sellouts, with every seat filled, but one fanbase has decades of built-up anticipation, of pain and Isiah and gravitas, and the other is just having a good time at a pretty building.
Nets fans will get there, just like Nationals fans will get there. The franchises have too much going for them not to eventually join the same tortured fanbases as everybody else's. But forgive me if I find myself siding with fans of the Knicks, or the Warriors, or the Orioles, the ones who have been going through this for years and hoping now, at last, is the time to break through. If the Nats and Nets don't win the way they expect to this year, it'll be good for their fans in the long run. The more you lose now, and the tougher the losses are, the better it'll feel later. Being a sports fan about pain, and release. You know, like being a human.

1. MacOS High Sierra (10.13) and Mojave (10.14) Compatibility
Screenwriter 6.5 is compatible and has been tested with MacOS High Sierra (10.13) and Mojave (10.14). Additionally version 6.5 supports Yosemite (10.10), El Capitan (10.11), and Sierra (10.12). If you are running one of the earlier "cat" versions of OS X (Snow Leopard (10.6), Lion (10.7), Mountain Lion (10.8), you will need to stick with Screenwriter 18.104.22.168.
2. Streamline Now Included!
Streamline™ is a feature (TOOLS > Streamline...) that helps you give your screenplay an extra polish before sending it out the door. Streamline examines a document for places where word changes or edits will reduce the total number of pages in the document. Streamline turns hours of manual drudgery into minutes or seconds of automated work. Streamline gives you a way to shorten your document without cheating!
How does Streamline do it? Streamline scours a document for page-saving opportunities by going through the document, word by word, looking for places that benefit from fine-tuning. We call this process iterative pagination. Streamline collates, prioritizes, and presents the results in a window. Each chance to shorten your document identifies where it is by page and paragraph number, as well as shows the word highlighted in context of the material surrounding it. Streamline suggests what to do with the word and may even display a list of possible synonyms.
You start by selecting the preferences you want Streamline to use when analyzing the script:
After scanning the script, Streamline presents you with a ranked list of suggested edits that, if made, would reduce the script by the specified number of pages:
Once you've made one or more suggested edits, you can have Streamline re-analyze your script and generate a new set of suggestions. See our documentation for more information on the Streamline feature.
3. New License Management
MacOS High Sierra required new license management. There is now an "Activate Screenwriter" application, but in practice you don't need to run it: when you run an unactivated Screenwriter, the Activate Screenwriter app will run automatically, and you will be prompted to enter your serial number and create a registration, complete with a password.
Subsequent installs require you to provide the same email address and password. However, this information is only requested during the install process.
There is no more "manual activation" -- you MUST have an internet connection at minimally to activate the software.
There is no "Trial period" -- in order to use the software you must activate and register over the internet.
Install count is now 2, but you can't lose them and you can always move them. Originally, we provided three installs because historically, the license management and activation was notoriously flaky. However, the newer systems we've developed and tested are very reliable. Multiple installs are for your personal use, so you can install the software on two of your machines (e.g. a laptop, and a desktop, for example). At any time you wish to "move" an install from one machine to another, you simply install on the new machine. If you have already used your two installs, you will be asked which of your older activations should be automatically deauthorized.
This release includes an entirely new spell checker, based on the Apple OS X spell checking system. This feature works with Apple's spelling dictionaries, and there are some differences from our older system:
- To select a Spell check language, use the Select Spellcheck Language popup:
- The contents of the language popup are determined by the user's preferred languages defined in the Mac OS X Languages and Text System Preference Panel. NOTE that adding / removing preferred languages in the System Preference panel require you to quit and restart Screenwriter in order to see the revised language choices, and may (according to Apple even require you to log off the user and log in again.
- New documents by default use "English".
- NOTE that there is a difference between "Automatic by Language" and explicitly choosing the Language. "Automatic by Language" attempts to detect the language of the checked text, and therefore you can intermix languages with that setting. If the user adds their own words to the dictionary, it gets added to the text file <user>/Library/Spelling/Local Dictionary, which is a catch all user dictionary for multiple languages. If the user has explicitly selected the language (say "English", for example), the user's added words go into the text file <user>/Library/Spelling/en
- If you elect to use the new Screenwriter XML (.mmx), the spell-check language is saved and restored with the document.
- You can Add new words to your user dictionary via the context menu ("Learn Spelling") or the Spell Check Dialog ("Learn" button):
- The Spell Check Dialog is displayed whenever you are spell checking a single word, selection, element, Page, Forwards or Entire Document:
- If you need to "Unlearn" a word, click in or select the word and choose "Remove from Dictionary" from the TOOLS > "Correct Current Word" menu submenu:
- Similarly, you can Ignore or Unignore a word for the current document:
- Ignored words get SAVED and restored with Screenwriter's new XML .mmx file format. As always with the old .mmsw file format, the ignored words are only persistent until the document is closed.
- Removed older Change Dictionary, Select Language, and Edit User Dictionary commands.
- The Ignore Capitalization when Checking Words Spelling Preference checkbox has been removed, as it no longer has meaning:
- The default spellcheck language is now saved with the document — both as .mmsw and .mmx. However, when saving as .mmsw, the saved language must be one of the "legacy" spell checker languages:
When saving in Screenwriter .mmx format, there is no such language limitation (so long as Screenwriter supports typing in the desired language).
If you attempt to save a .mmsw file with an unsupported language (i.e. not in the list above), it will re-open with "Automatic by Language" selected.
There is a new Synonym context menu popup. For example, the synonyms for "coal":
There is also a TOOLS > Thesaurus command:
A new feature allows you to look up MULTIPLE WORDS. For example "Air Raid" is a word that is in the dictionary that has a definition:
Synonyms in the Thesaurus are displayed in the letter case of the word being looked up, and that casing style is applied to the possible synonyms. For example, if you were looking up a synonym for the multiple words "quarter mile":
air raid all lowercase air attack
Air raid Sentence case Air attack
Air Raid Title Case Air Attack
AIR RAID UPPERCASE AIR ATTACK < /span> < /p>
Currently, the Thesaurus is only provided in English. However, the thesaurus data is based on free OpenOffice thesaurus data files, so it is possible to download other internationalized thesaurus data. (we will provide a link and FAQ on our support web site).
Screenwriter's outline features give writers unmatched creative flexibility, and the new Outline Report gives you to more ways to customize your printed outlines. Perhaps the best way to appreciate the power of the new Outline Report is to compare the OLD Outline Report:
...with the NEW Outline Report:
These new options allow you flexibility to:
- Control the amount of detail printed (Full, Summary, or Overview);
- Include normal script text with the outline;
- Choose the style of indentation (the script's indentation, or outline-style indentation);
- Select a unified font;
- Add a detailed header and footer.
New Places to Search: There are now radio buttons to limit the searching (for both Find and Replace) to the following categories:
- All: everything, including hidden and non-printing elements. Hidden elements containing found text are now always revealed.
- Printable: search all printable elements, these include all the standard elements, plus any outline styles that are marked to print.
- Non-Printing: search only elements that are non-printing, which includes outline styles not marked to print, Script Notes, and any elements that have been manually marked as non-printing with the Cheat command. Hidden elements containing found text are always revealed.
- Scene Headings: search only scene headings (including locked types). Shots are NOT searched.
- Action: search only action elements.
- Character: search only character name elements.
- Dialogue: search only dialogue AND parenthetical action elements.
- Notes: search only Script Notes. Notes that are hidden (i.e. collapsed) will be revealed if the search text is found in them.
- Outline Styles: search only Outline Styles, including both printable and non-printing Outline Styles. Non-printing Outline Styles that are hidden (i.e. collapsed) will be revealed if the search text is found in them.
Find Previous: The shortcut for Find Next is presently defined as COMMAND-G. We've added SHIFT-COMMAND-G to do Find Previous. Also works while shift-clicking on Find Next icon in toolbar.
Find Previous: The shortcut for Find Next is presently defined as COMMAND-G. We've added SHIFT-COMMAND-G to do Find Previous. Also works while shift-clicking on Find Next icon in toolbar.
Use Selection for Find: A keyboard shortcutfor power users: if you do SHIFT+COMMAND+F (i.e. SHIFT+Find), you will load the selected text into the "Find what" search field. Also works while shift-clicking on Find icon in toolbar. (NOTE: many Mac programs support loading the selection for Find as CMD+E, but we use that shortcut for the popular FORMAT > Element Styles.)
Escape now cancels/closes Find & Replace dialog. 'nuff said.
Finding text in hidden notes / outline styles: Fixed a bug where Find / Find Next would find text in hidden notes / outline styles, but you couldn't see what was found in the context of the hidden text. Now the hidden note / outline style element is revealed and the found text is selected.
8. IMPORTS FINAL DRAFT XML (.fdx) FILE FORMAT:
This is a new, high-quality Final Draft Import that lets you import Final Draft 8, 9 and 10 .fdx files into Movie Magic Screenwriter. Most of your Final Draft formatting will be preserved. There are some exceptions (see below).
A special Screenwriter template (.def file) "Default FD Import.def" is used to automatically set specific defaults that are used when importing Final Draft .fdx files. For example, it includes a Scene Title and Scene Comment Outline Style that help import those special elements from a Final Draft script into non-printing outline styles. You do NOT need to use this template -- is is automatically used when importing from Final Draft.
A NOTE about "Courier Final Draft": You may notice that Courier Final Draft doesn't look as nice on screen as Courier MM Screenwriter. During import, we automatically convert Courier Final Draft to Courier MM Screenwriter. You can always go into FORMAT > Element Styles and change the default for your script to any font. However, Courier Final Draft might not be installed system-wide and therefore it might not be available to other programs. Final Draft places this font file in the Final Draft Application Content/Resources folder, so if you are comfortable doing so, you can COPY this font file out of the Final Draft package and install it into your system using Apple's Font Book program. We provide detailed instructions for doing this on our Tech Support web site.LOCKED PRODUCTION FILES AND FINAL DRAFT IMPORT: Final Draft and Movie Magic Screenwriter implement the production locking process differently. Because of this, it would have been very difficult for us to guarantee that the page count in a "locked" production script in Final Draft would have the exact same page count once imported into Movie Magic Screenwriter. We recommend only importing UNLOCKED scripts at this time. If you wish to transition a locked script from Final Draft to Movie Magic Screenwriter, we suggest you unlock it first.
"custom" element types: Screenwriter now properly imports Final Draft "custom" element types. We import those custom elements into Screenwriter's outline styles, and they are set to print by default.
IMPORT ERRORS AND WARNINGS: If Screenwriter encounters special Final Draft elements it doesn't recognize during the import process, it will tell you about them when the import process is complete:
Even if there are import errors, unrecognized elements are always converted in the imported document to plain "Action" elements, so you should not lose any text. The details of those import errors are prepended to a special file located in the same folder as the Movie Magic Screenwriter application:
"Error Log from Importing Final Draft® (.fdx) files.txt"
You can view or print this log to find out what aspects of your original Final Draft file might not have been imported correctly.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Importing a Final Draft file will only create a new Movie Magic Screenwriter file -- it will never overwrite or delete your original Final Draft document.
IMPORT EXCEPTIONS: Some features in Final Draft do not presently import into corresponding features in Movie Magic Screenwriter:
Imported, but into Screenwriter's default settings:
- Mores and Continueds
- Scene Number Options
Imported, but into Action Elements:
- Act Breaks
- Forced Page Breaks
Not Imported:
- Header and Footer text
- Title Page text
- Scene Arc Beats and Character Arc Beats
- "Floating" script notes
- "Beats" (not part of the script proper).
9. EXPORT TO FINAL DRAFT XML (.fdx):
This is a new, high-quality export. Please note there are many differences between the high level of customization in Screenwriter that cannot translate to Final Draft, some of which we detail below. Those exceptions noted, this export is still light years ahead of using RTF or copy/paste to export to Final Draft.
- You may notice a difference in page count. Screenwriter and FD do not line wrap or paginate exactly the same. Generally, Screenwriter's wrapping/paginating follows the industry page-a-minute rule more closely than Final Draft.
- Screenwriter does not presently export our title page, headers/footers, or user lists to Final Draft. We DO export character names , as well as spell check exceptions (from .mmx files).
- Final Draft does not support the concept of arbitrarily hiding elements, nor intermixing hidden elements with the rest of the script. Therefore, Screenwriter Outline Styles and Notes that are non-printing ("hidden") are converted to script notes in Final Draft the are attached to the nearest element, as they would be in Screenwriter. They To see them in FD, you need to look at FD's note navigator.
- Screenwriter Outline Styles that are set to print (i.e. are NOT hidden) are exported to FD as their own "custom styles".
- Usually, we convert the Courier MM Screenwriter to the Courier Final Draft, because that's what FD users expect (despite our servant belief that Courier MM Screenwriter is a superior font).
- We STRONGLY discourage you from exporting a locked production script to FD (and vice-versa). If you do so, do NOT expect production features like locked page and scene numbers in FD to correspond exactly with the same pages in the original, pre-export Screenwriter file.
Although this version of Screenwriter is not fully Retina capable, it has a special option turned on that will help with presenting higher resolution text. The option is always on, but in order to take advantage of that option, you need to do two things:
- Check the settings for your Display's resolution scaling:
If you can select either of the two settings to the right of "Default" (as above), you will get better Retina performance from Screenwriter.
- You must set Screenwriter's Zoom Percentage to 200% (either Fixed Text Size, or as a maximum for "Fit Width":
Again: these settings will not give you TRUE retina performance, but they will be pretty good, especially for text. We are immediately planning to begin work on an update to 6.5 that will represent a true high-resolution Retina mode.
11. NEW (OPTIONAL) SCREENWRITER XML FILE FORMAT (.mmx):You now have the option to save your documents in one of two formats: Screenwriter 6.0's current file format (.mmsw) or the new XML file format (.mmx extension). < /p> < p style = ' text-autospace:none' > There are a few reasons why you might wish to choose the .mmx file format over the older .mmsw: < /p> < p style = ' text-autospace:none' > 1).mmx supports some new features, such as remembering Ignored words in the new spell checker on a document-by-document basis. < p style = ' text-autospace:none' > 2) .mmx supports some features when importing from Final Draft, and will do a better job of exporting to Final Draft. < p style = ' text-autospace:none' > 3) Some third-party apps support importing / exporting the .mmx file format. (see our web site for a list of apps presently supporting .mmx) < /p> < p style = ' text-autospace:none' > NOTE: The .mmx file format is not presently compatible with the Windows version of Movie Magic Screenwriter. Also, the password-protected document feature is not presently available for the .mmx file format. Finally, you cannot presently send a .mmx file to a writing partner running iPartner. < /p>
DEFAULT DOCUMENT FORMAT PREFERENCE: You can now choose which file format you wish Screenwriter to use by default. In the Preferences Dialog, the FILES tab has the following options:
Default for New Screenwriter Documents:
Default when opening a .mmsw document:
NOTE: Backup (.BK) and Autosave (.tmb timed backup) files are created in the same file format as whatever the user is presently editing (i.e. .mmsw or .mmx)
EXPORTING TO .MMX FORMAT: You can also export to the new .mmx format. When you EXPORT, your document is scanned for hidden elements, and you are presented with an alert telling you how many hidden notes and outline elements there are, and presented with the option to include or exclude those hidden elements:
We present this option because you might be exporting your script to .mmx in order to provide the file to a production-related system. In that case, your private notes and non-printing outline elements might not be relevant, and might even contain confidential notes you don't wish anyone else to see.
12. REVAMPED iPARTNER FOR MAVERICKS & YOSEMITE
iPartner ran into problems in Apple's release of OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and later, because Apple removed older Internet transport protocols that iPartner required. iPartner has now been revamped to support the newer Internet communication protocols. Two minor notes: iPartner no longer supports sending VOICE over the iPartner connection. Also, you cannot presently use iPartner to send an .mmx file to your partner (this will be fixed in a later release). However, you CAN send .mmx files using the FILE > Send as Email Attachment… command.
- Pinch-Zoom Gesture implemented: You can now use the pinch-zoom gesture on a MacBook trackpad to zoom either the screenplay content or the Navdoc, depending on which view your mouse is positioned over. NOTE: If you are in "fit width" mode, you can still zoom the window contents up or down, but the next time you resize the window, it will snap the zoom back to fitting to the window. This is a feature, not a bug!
- Goto Next Note / Outline Style: Goto next Note (CMD+OPTION+G) has been expanded to include hidden outline paragraphs, and adding a SHIFT modifier will do Goto previous Note / Outline Style (SHIFT+CMD+OPTION+G). This command will always reveal the next or previous note if it is "hidden".
- Enter & Shift-Enter in notes and non-printing outline styles: Presently, if the Screenwriter Editing Preference: "Pressing the Enter Key… in Note adds a Hard Return" checkbox is checked, the normal operation of pressing Enter in a note or non-printing outline style will enter a forced return (Shift-Enter). This modification makes pressing Shift-Enter when that checkbox is enabled also reversed: it creates a new element of the same type following the element you're in. This allows you to type multiple lines inside a note quickly and easily, but also to exit that note/outline style and create a new one. This only works in notes or outline styles that are non-printing.
- Export to AVID format is now fixed -- it will now export both left and right scene numbers.
- Visibility of Printable Outline Styles: Printable Outline styles (i.e. are set to "print") are now ALWAYS visible in the document, and now cannot be collapsed (hidden), since they add to the paginated page count. This includes the Final Draft "custom" element types we now import. The triangle widget on the left edge of the screen that indicates a collapsed (hidden) note or outline element is now shown disabled (gray) and cannot be collapsed for elements that are intended to be printed with the script.
- New Export warning for non-printing elements that are not notes or outline styles, especially for Final Draft, which can't arbitrarily hide these elements.
- Fixed a long-standing bug page breaking bug: Let's say you're writing a spoken poem or song, so you end each line with a Hard Return (EDIT > Add Hard Return, or SHIFT+RETURN). Later editing in the script about that passage causes a page break to occur across those lines of dialog (or action). So far no problem, until other edits caused the broken poem to be "reconnected": you would see a spurious space appear at the start of the line that was reconnected. Enough editing and the formatting of the poem could wind up a total mess.
- Raised default number of previous versions saved: Changed the default for Retain previous versions of documents from 10 to 99. This is the default number of .BK (backup) files that are saved per script:
New Page Break Option: This new checkbox, "Allow orphaned Scene Headings and Shots when followed by non-printing elements", provides compatibility with version 6.0 and earlier behavior. When enabled, scene headings and shots will be allowed at bottom of page when followed by non-printing elements such as notes or outlines elements. The new default is to NOT allow Scene Headings and Shots to be at the bottom of pages when followed by non-printing elements:
- Fixed a bug where Scene Headings and Shots might appear at the very end of the printed page if they were immediately followed by non-printing notes or outline styles. If you are working in a locked script that is affected by this change, we've added a new PAGE BREAK Element Styles preference:
- Cosmetic change in Page Break tab of Element Styles: the Break Action and Break Dialog sections of the Page Break tab in Element Styles has been rearranged:
- SAVE AS / SAVE A COPY: These two commands don't give you choices for file formats to save to -- use the FILE > Export To… command instead.
- FILE > EXPORT TO… Added Screenwriter XML (.mmx) and Screenwriter 6 (.mmsw), so the user could comfortably go between .mmx and .mmsw formats.
- Removed Some antiquated Export file formats: ScriptThing for DOS, Scriptware Tagged, and HTML Publishing formats from the SAVE A COPY… file format menu. Removed CompanyMove ShowPlanner .sex export (company appears to be out of business). The new menu looks like this:
15. BUG FIXES (Click here to see summary of supplemental changes since the 6.5 release)
- Disabled and hid the audio option in iPartner. Fixes bug: when you click on the mic in the Chat window you get an Exception Thrown -201 error message.
- Corrected a crash that would occur if you had zoom scaling set to exactly 50% in a LOCK SCRIPT, then scrolled to the top of the document, then tried to scroll up beyond the top of the document.
- Scrambled text printing bug fixed: Fixed problem with scrambled text printing on some Macs running Sierra when the line contained text showing the red squiggly underline denoting a misspelled word.
- Print crash fixed: The same scrambled text fix appears to have fixed a rare problem with printing resulting in a generic print error.
- RTF Import / Paste bug fixed: Fixed bug when importing from RTF or pasting in copied text from Microsoft Word that contained curly double quotes (for example "All's clear!"), you would get the wrong characters substituted for the quotes: ÒAll's clear!Ó. Now the proper straight double quotes are substituted: "All's clear!"
- Fixed RTF paste bug: when pasting RTF copied from Microsoft Word into Screenwriter, there could be garbage or repeated text at the end of the last element pasted;
- Fixed a rare but very serious crash that could occur when an operation on a selection resulted in the element at the end of that selection becoming the second half of a broken element. Prior to the crash you would see an alert telling you to report a "Non-Critical Warning".
- Programmatic resizing fixed: There's also a fix for a utility called "Split Screen" that lets users quickly resize and segregate app windows to the left, right, top or bottom halves of the screen. Previously, Screenwriter wouldn't handle redrawing itself after being programmatically resized, but now it works correctly and looks good. This fix would also correct issues with auto-resize operations initiated by other window manager utilities, such as SizeUp.
- Double-spacing of (more): We have fixed a long-standing cosmetic bug when using Mac Screenwriter for sitcom (double-spaced dialog) formats: If double-spaced dialog was broken, the (more) would appear beneath the broken dialog as SINGLE SPACED (without the expected extra blank line). This fix brings Mac Screenwriter into sync with Windows screenwriter.
- Fixed an odd XML Export bug (in 6.2/6.3) where subsequent exports of the plain text .mmx format was written with extra leading indentation. This lead to those .mmx files showing up as "grayed out" in the Open dialog, although you could select the Open file dialog filter menu item for .mmx only, and then you could select the file. This did NOT affect users who didn't explicitly use the Export to .mmx menu command.
- Fixed major crash (in 6.2/6.3) upon opening a document or creating a new document if you had defined character names in the Character Names tab of Format > User Lists, then made those settings "Default for all new documents".
- Added diagnostics and prevented crash when a user placed a document in a DropBox folder that was already being synchronized by iCloud drive on Sierra;
- Fixed long-standing crash when closing certain dialogs, such as the FORMAT > User Lists, EDIT > Change Character Name, VIEW > Index Cards and Index Card Font dialog.
- Visibility of imported Final Draft Notes and other hidden outline elements that have disclosure triangles that are now properly collapsed or expanded by default after FD import. Previously, you would see an open disclosure triangle, but the text was still hidden.
- Fixed non-printing scene headings bug: Don't allow non-printing scene headings to be scene numbered!!!
- Fixed bug in Print > Scene Heading list: it was including non-Note and non-Outline elements marked as non-printing.
- Fixed bug in Print > Outline Report: it was including non-Note and non-Outline elements marked as non-printing.
- Corrected a bug in Streamline: the context text wasn't showing international characters properly.
- Fixed Final Draft files not being recognized: Fixed problem where Final Draft 10 files weren't being recognized by Screenwriter's import command. Same with documents generated by other programs that generate Final Draft .fdx files.
- Fixed bug: When exporting to Scheduling, Smartcheck runs first which it should not do
- Corrected a crash that would occur if you had zoom scaling set to exactly 50% in a LOCK SCRIPT, then scrolled to the top of the document, then tried to scroll up beyond the top of the document.
- Fixed bug: The program crashes when trying to set a keyboard command in Screenwriter > Preferences > Keyboard.
- Fixed bug where Labels of the controls in the Element Styles window will randomly turn different colors.
- Fixed bug: Typing a closing Parenthesis shows as corruption in document. (this only occurred if the preference "Parentheticals are Separate Elements" wasn't checked).
- Fixed Bug: Bookmarks do not display when viewing the PDF in Mac Preview. When exporting to PDF using the program's built-in command, the bookmarks get created, but they do not include scene numbers like they do in the Windows version.
- Fixed Bug: Scene Numbers do not get included in the PDF bookmarks when using the export command. When exporting to PDF using the program's built-in command, the bookmarks get created, but they do not include scene numbers like they do in the Windows version.
- Fixed Bug: The "OK" button is disabled when you choose to set another option after you have selected User Defined in the Override Scene Heading Number window.
- Fixed Bug: After disconnecting from iPartner the program asserted/crashed.
- Fixed Bug: When you try to iPartner with a machine running Screenwriter 4.x the program crashes.
- Fixed Bug: When you attempt to open a file sent through iPartner, you get a message saying "Client closed with unknown error 1!" and the session disconnects.
- Fixed Bug: "Unable to start iPartner, your computer does not have the correct networking software installed." when trying to use iPartner on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).
- Editing an Index Card with Notes while in the Index card window results in all of the Notes in that Category being reset to the Current Note Category.
- Character Names with spaces do not get auto-formatted when entered while in Index Card mode.
- Goto Next A-Page option does not work.
- Scene Labels remain in the document after you have unchecked the option Put in "SCENE".
- Cannot Undo any editing changes made in the Index Card view.
- Dual column character names do not handle Character extensions when the extensions wrap.
- Some filename are still limited to short (27 character) non-Unicode filenames. Long Unicode Names are Not Supported in these areas:
- Title Pages

Want votes? Include "Building a Wall" in your campaign manifesto, Want to get more traffic to your blog post? Apply our 6 fast backlinking strategies for every blog post, to your blog posts!
Our fast backlinking tactics are using Social links, Internal Links, Reputable Links from other sites, Social Bookmarking, answering question forums and categorising & tagging content.
These backlinking tips are fast, and within your control. You can literally apply them to every post.
The Google search algorithm has long been a source of mystery. As bloggers, we don't need to understand it, not that we will ever get the chance! What Bloggers do need, however, is to understand how to optimise their content to rank higher in Google.
Bloggers neglect Backlinking because it is hard to know what to do and Google are vague on the precise backlinking tactics required to merit a better position in their search engine.
[spp-tweet tweet="Google views every blog click as a vote, backlinking is still important for bloggers"]
Bloggers should consider using Backlinking Tactics for every blog post and have a backlinking strategy for their blog to rank higher in Google.
This article focuses on backlinking tactics that Bloggers can apply to every blog post. Our Backlinking Tactics are fast to implement, giving your blog access to more traffic.
What is Backlinking and why does it matter to Bloggers?
Each click of a link is counted as a "vote" for that piece of content. The more clicks or "votes" a piece of content receives, the more valuable the Google Search Algorithm deems it.
The Google Search Algorithm is more comprehensive, but in simple terms, the more links pointing to your blog, the higher Google will rank it within their search engine results.
The more sources that are pointing Links to a piece of your content; Google attributes more value. It is not about the number of links coming from a certain site, but the diversity of sites sending links.
Bloggers spend time crafting great content, adding some Backlinking Tactics will improve the traffic that blog post gets.
1. Gain Social Backlinks using Click to Tweet
When a visitor reaches your site and starts to consume your content, they form an opinion of your blogs relevance. They either start reading your content or click away.
People want to add value to their followers on social media and look smart in the process.
Can you provide an insightful piece of information? An anecdote, a quote or a catchy sentence. If yes, use Click to Tweet to make it easy to share on Twitter.
Here are some examples of how we use Click to Tweet; How to Increase Blog Traffic with Categories and Tags
While researching this blog post, I can across a piece of content called 8 Smarter Ways to Earn Backlinks by Felix Tarcomnicu. Near the beginning of the article, Tarcomnicu uses a metaphor to describe backlinking. He likens it to a game of poker; Google is the dealer, and you can see everyone else's cards (Backlinks). He shortened the metaphor and made it a click to tweet. It was so easy and clever that I clicked and shared it from our Twitter account.
SEO is like playing poker with your competitors, and Google is the dealer. The exception is that everyone has to play with their cards on the table. SEO is like playing poker with your competitors, and Google is the dealer. – @felixtarcomnicu Click To Tweet
2. Link to Internal Blog Posts
Internal links help your blogs SEO, especially when visitors click them. So linking to one of your articles per blog post is recommended.
In a recent article on How to SEO Optimise Blog Posts I linked to a post getting us a lot of traffic on Custom Ghost Codes. This internal link was used because it gave value to the reader and improved the blog post from an SEO Backlinking perspective.
3. Categorise & Tag your Blog Posts
Although not backlinking directly, categorising and tagging your content as you publish provides links to other related blog content. This type of link isn't as valuable as a link within your blog post body, but shouldn't be ignored.
4. Link to a Reputable Source
When blogging, I research the topic even if I know the subject very well. There are so many great blogs and bloggers out there. When you find an article that is related to your blog post. Reference it and provide a link. This is one of the reasons that I linked to Felix Tarcomnicu's article 8 Smarter Ways to Earn Backlinks when talking about Click to Tweet's.
5. Social Bookmarking Directories
There are some directories that you can send me your latest blog post to; some are your niche specific, others are a little bit more generic. Keep a short list of directories to update when you create a new blog post. The more these backlinks get clicked, the better your article will perform on google.
We recommend using the following social directories and adding a more niche directory if one exists for the topic of your content.
- Stumbleupon.com: Stumbleupon is one of the best sources of free quality traffic on the internet.
- Digg.com: If you submit enough quality content, you can get featured, and this will drive a lot of traffic your way.
- Reddit.com: They have the mission statement to be the "front page of the internet". It is another excellent way to drive free traffic to your site.
6. Answer a Question and Link to your Blog Post
When you complete blog posts, does it solve a problem or answer a question? Has that question being asked on the likes of Yahoo! Answers or Quora or any other Q&A platform? When it does, you are in a great position to go and write a short answer and link back to your blog post.
Quora is the best example of a site that answers questions. If your blog is the top rated answer, you can expect thousands of hits.
Don't spam Q&A platforms as answers typically have a voting system and poor performing answers may hurt your blog.
Ninja Bonus Tip: Infographics for Your Best Content
A method that we've seen become increasingly popular over the last number of years is to use infographics to represent data from your blog post. An infographic can even simply be the steps listed out for the problem that your blog post solves, there are many variations of infographics available.
Content providers such as Mashable, Huffington Post and others are publishing infographics on a regular basis because of their popularity, which has skyrocketed since 2009.
The great thing about infographics is other bloggers share and reference them on their blogs. Infographics are difficult to create, which is a key driver for their success too.
Software such as Piktochart is great for making Infographics, or you can use Fiverr to get some made. As a blogger, if this is outside your skill set try not to waste too much time.
In Conclusion
Blogging can be difficult and time consuming. It makes more sense to make existing content work harder, applying a few backlinking tactics to every blog post takes little time and achieves great long term results.
Linking to your own content, using Click to Tweet, using Categories & Tags, linking to reputable sources and adding your content to social directories is easy. It can literally be done every single time. Having a simple backlinking strategy for every blog post is much better than not having one at all.

Fire Investigation
Normal Fire Department has five members who are tasked with determining cause and origin of a fire. They work in conjunction with various local, state and federal investigation and law enforcement agencies to determine what started a fire, where it started, and to prosecute arsonists if it is determined that a fire was intentionally set.
Members of the team are certified as investigators by the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal, and have extensive training in fire cause and origin determination. They have to maintain a high level of continuing education to remain certified and a part of the team.
A fire investigator looks at the fire remains, and obtains information to reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to the fire. Fire investigators sometimes work with forensic engineers, such as forensic electrical engineers when examining electrical appliances, household wiring, etc.
Fire investigation is a combination of burn patterns analysis, fire debris analysis, scene recreation, interviewing and evidence collection. These clues help investigators determine the origin and cause of a fire.

Tool to decode / speak / translate the Klingon language using the symbols of the planet Kronos language in the Star Trek series.
The writing in Klingon has a handwritten form (the symbols above) and a literal / phonetic form. dCode allows the transformation of these symbols into Latin alphabet.
Example: for ch
The English translation of Klingon's words is not available, however there is a semi official dictionary like The Klingon Dictionary here (link)
The Klingon script is a substitution of the characters of the Latin alphabet by their Klingon symbol.
Example: a is written
There are some exceptions like poly-characters substitution ch, ng, gh or tlh
Example: tlh is written as
English words must be translated into Klingon to keep the original language spirit.
Example: tlhIngan maH translates We are Klingon
The Klingon language is used in The Star Trek series, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery on the Kronos planet... and by all the geeks fans of the series (especially the fans of Spock).
dCode retains ownership of the source code of the script Klingon Language online.
