Did you know that you can be put in jail in Connecticut before you have been convicted of a crime?
Bail and bond reform is getting bi-partican support in Washington from Senator Rand Paul (Rep., KY) and Senator Kamala Harris (Dem., CA). The two Sentators argue that the current system is unfair to poor people, and minorities. They believe the system could be improved throught use of research based criteria to better evaluate the risk of flight and to set bail accordinly. It is time for reform.
What is bail and bond in Connecticut?
If you are arrested for a crime in Connecticut, the law allows the government to hold you in jail until trial. But if they do, you have the right to get out of jail pending the trial if you post bail. The bail must be reasonable. Posting bail means you gauranty to forfeit money or property if you flee the state, or don't show up for your trial.
What is the purpose of bail or bond in Connecticut's criminal law system?
The purpose of bail and bond in Connecticut is to help guaranty that you will show up for your trial. The idea is to give you an incentive to show up for Court. If you fail to show up, you forfeit your money or property. That is the incentive. Of course, there already exists a crime called "failure to appear" in Court in Connecticut. So, that is an incentive to show up in Court. But bail is also an incentive.
Is it bail system unfair, and can Connecticut's bail and band system be improved?
Yes, it can. Most people understand that for very serious crimes the defendent needs to be held in jail. The Constitution gives them the right to post bail. The bail must be reasonable. For less serious crimes, however, forcing people to post bail can cause very serious unintended problems in their lives. The problems far outweight the seriousness of their crime. The most obvious problem is that they will likely lose their job if they can't post bail. In some instances judges require bail for medium level crimes, or low level crimes, or when the nature of the alleged crimes makes it very difficult for the judge to simple release them without bail. For example, in instances the might involve a weapon, or the threat of potential future violence (no matter how remote) judges will likely require bail. They don't want to be second-guessed and criticized for failing to prevent a future bad event no matter how remote. In the vast majority of instances, however, defendants will show up for trial with or without bail.
For poor people, posting bail is often impossible. Even $500 can seem like an impossible sum to get for bail. With the system that allows for bondsmen to post bonds for people, judges know that, and set bonds accordingly. Judge's know that a $50,000 bond can be achieved with cash payment to a bondsman of a sum far less than $50,000. So, they set bonds higher than might be reasonable based on what they know one must come up with for the bondsman.
When people can't post bonds, they are forced to (1) sit in jail even before they are convicted, and even when they are truly not-guilty, and (2) they can expect to lose their job. A system that uses research to evaluate flight risk would be far superior to our present system. For low level crimes, there should be no bond. While the person guilty of the crime must take responsibility for their crime having them lose their job does not help society at all especially for low and medium level crimes. Also, we must always remember that being "accused" does not mean one is guilty, and taking away a person's freedom by putting someone in jail before their right to a fair trial is contrary to our Constitutional values, which value personal freedom higher than anything else.

Q: Programmatically create three mxd's Quite often I have to create 3 different exhibits for the same project and it can get quite tedious, I was wondering if there was a way using python, modelbuilder, etc. to do this programmatically. Each mxd will be based off a specific template also.
To be clear, I do not mean to completely create the finished exhibits, but rather to sety up the three mxd's to be populated.

A: For an inexperienced Python user my recommendation would be to author three MXDs that will be your templates.  These would have your layout set up any data frame(s), scale bar(s), legend(s), north arrow(s), company logo, etc that you want in every map (perhaps a background layer too), while omitting any theme layers (which you would add each time you do your next project).
You can then use the Copy tool to copy each of these template MXDs into your new project folder, so that you can add the new theme layers to them.
To turn what you did using the Copy tool into Python code you can go to the Geoprocessing | Results window, right click on where the tool successfully ran and choose Copy As Python Snippet, which can then be pasted into your script.

MONROE, Maine —
Nugget from Toddy Pond Farm is a 2-week-old lamb who already has an extensive life story.
"He was born one of three lambs born to one of our three ewes," owner Greg Purinton-Brown said.
"He right away was not very strong and didn't nurse from his mother very quickly. We were still experiencing quite a bit of cold weather at that point and so when he didn't start to nurse, his body temperature began to drop."
As cold weather continued to hit Maine, the owners stepped in and brought Nugget inside to be bottle fed.
As his health improved, Nugget began taking trips to farmers markets, attracting the attention of a lot of people.
Purinton-Brown said bottle feeding lambs is a fairly common practice, but Nugget's popularity has been undeniable in the last few weeks.
"It's been interesting the reaction from the community about the lamb," he said. "I think he's been accepted by a lot of people because he's kind of a happy story. He's incredibly cute, obviously, as all lambs are, but I think people need that."
Toddy Pond Farm will be open for visitors on Wednesdays and Saturdays starting in May.

BOTTOM LINE: Trump's 2017 collides with 1973 in this affecting and funny glam-rock musical inspired by the true story of the vibrant customers of a New Orleans gay bar where 32 people were murdered.
What happened at New Orleans' UpStairs Lounge at the conclusion of Pride Weekend on June 24, 1973 is unknown to many and forgotten by others, even though it was the deadliest mass attack on the LGBT community until the Pulse nightclub shooting. But while there were countless fundraisers for Pulse's victims and families, and the violence was condemned by the White House, such was not the case 44 years ago. On the fourth anniversary of Stonewall, no revolution, as the bartender sings in The View UpStairs, had come to the door. After the fire, charred bodies were left unclaimed—because people didn't want to be associated with the dead, there was little news coverage, and the killer was never seriously pursued.
For its patrons, the UpStairs is, as they sing in the spirited opening number, "Some Kind of Paradise." But when Wes (Jeremy Pope), a twenty-something black, gay fashion designer returning to his hometown New Orleans after years away in New York, buys the building, the bar is decrepit and decaying. In debt and living in his parent's attic, he wants to turn the UpStairs into his flagship store.
Tugging at the tattered, red curtains, the bar suddenly comes to life and he's transported back to the bar's final night in 1973. Led by Willie (Nathan Lee Graham), the men suss him out, asking if he's more Oscar Wilde or Arthur Miller, Sonny or Cher. Wes imagines he's hallucinating and likens it to being in a "music video for The Village People." The rest of the gang gets an introduction: there's Freddy (Michael Longoria) from Puerto Rico whose father abandoned the family after learning his son was gay, but whose mother Inez (Nancy Ticotin) has learned to embrace him, and as the guys sing, "make sure his titties are in place" when he does drag. Buddy (Randy Redd) plays piano and leads a double life as a family man, Richard (Benjamin Howes), is a compassionate preacher who has created a makeshift congregation at the bar (the real bar was the local chapter of the Metropolitan Community Church, the first gay church in the US) and Dale (Ben Mayne) is a tragic, troubled homeless hustler. The bar is run by Henri (April Ortiz), a tough, leather-clad woman who's a kindred spirit offering a safe space to this lot.
Wes becomes invested when he meets Patrick (Taylor Frey), a sweet-natured hustler. Patrick, like many of the other men there, has been on his own since he was a teenager and is never going to see his parents again. The stark contrast because their two experiences becomes clear to Wes—a man whose mother essentially came out for him over sushi when he was nine—when a homophobic cop enters the bar and threatens everyone unless he gets a bribe. Although Wes is outraged, the gang reminds him in "The World Outside These Walls" that being gay and getting outed in the paper means the loss of privacy, a job, and maybe your life.
As a character, Wes is burdened with qualities that so many people dislike about Millennials: he's narcissistic, privileged, technology-obsessed, and ignorant of the past. It's tricky to hang a show on someone shallow and unenlightened, but Pope is energetic and inspires sympathy as Wes sings to Patrick about his lonely, anxiety-filled life in "The Future is Great." While Wes is somewhat flavorless, the rest of the characters leave a lasting impression. Frey has a lovely voice and brings a great deal of pathos and decency to Patrick. As the barely tolerated Dale, the character who arguably has suffered the most, Mayne makes you feel Dale's yearning for acceptance from his own people. Ortiz, an understudy for Frenchie Davis, acquits herself well and sings with a lot of heart. The standout though is the phenomenal Graham. Without the sarcastic, fiery, snark-ready Willie, flipping his hand-held fan to punctuate his every point, there would be no show.
As memorable as the cast is, they're backed up by Max Vernon's catchy and moving songs. Everyone gets a turn, which is admirable, but certain songs land better than others. The 70s clothes and wigs are pitch perfect, courtesy of Anita Yavich and Jason Hayes, respectively. There's a lot of eye-popping polyester, tight pants, shirts open to there, and thick moustaches on display. They don't hold a candle though to the duct tape and red plastic cup dress that Wes designs for Freddy. Jason Sherwood's set design, aided by Andrew Diaz's props and set dressing, is outstanding. From the picture of Dolly Parton on the wall, to the naked Burt Reynolds centerfold pinned to the ceiling, to the rainbow piñata and neon Schaefer Beer sign, it's a feast for the eyes. Scott Ebersold has gone for a cabaret-style staging in the close space, placing certain audience members at tables that the cast joins from time to time. Judging from the reaction of the crowd, it's an effective technique.
With the White House removing protections for transgender kids in schools, and growing fears that other gay rights may be rolled back, New York audiences can seek solace in the current theatre scene, which has multiple shows on stage and in the works that celebrate and honor the LGBTQ community, and The View UpStairs is a worthy new addition. But just as Wes gets woke by the end, the production's intent is clearly to have audiences not just walk out humming, but to fight back.

A number of historians suggest that immigrants from Europe including Irish, Germans, Jews, and Italians, merged into a White or European American group during the twentieth century. Their identity was no longer as Italians or Irish but simply as White Americans. This essay argues that this process was more complex than 'Whiteness' historians claim. A nationality based ethnic identity existed longer than thought, and continued well into post World War II America. Furthermore, ethnicity in terms of subconscious or conscious cultural patterns and behaviors could also continue into third, fourth, and even fifth generations. Ethnicity therefore did not necessarily fade but could maintain its meaning and represent the basis for some differences in values and behavior among various ethnic groups.

Home F&R News Ruby – The Birthstone of July
9 July 2019 / NEWSShare
Known as the 'king of gems' by the ancients and with their rich red colouring and a natural hardness that is second only to diamonds, rubies are a birthstone to be coveted. They are said to guarantee health, wisdom, wealth and luck in love and their natural durability makes them perfect for everyday wear.
Thailand and Myanmar are the source of many of the world's rubies and both countries regard it as their national stone. Much legend surrounds these glowing gems, with ancients believing that it was literally a drop of Mother Earth's blood and in addition, was self-luminous. In the Middle Ages they were prized for their properties of good health as well as being a silent guard against untoward thoughts and disputes. Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine of Aragorn is said to have foreseen her downfall by the darkening of her ruby.
Ruby Facts
While ruby is usually thought of as being intensely red, their hue can vary from a bright orangey red to a more muted purple tone. Rubies are a type of corundum.
Corundum is a mineral that is colourless in its pure form and which turns red when chromium is introduced. The conditions needed to create a ruby are extremely rare. As a result, they are the world's most expensive per-carat coloured gemstone.
Corundum is surpassed only by diamond in terms of hardness. A rating of 9.0 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, makes a ruby not only beautiful but also hard wearing and practical.
Royal Adoration
Wallis Simpson's love of rubies was well known and her collection included a Cartier ruby necklace, pendant and brooch. Their durability, colour and sparkle have long made rubies a popular feature in royal jewellery collections with HRH Princess Mary of Denmark, Queen Amelie of Portugal and Queen Elizabeth II all the fortunate owners of impressive ruby encrusted pieces.
Celebrities Adoring Rubies
Rubies have proven popular with celebrities with a strong sense of style. The singer turned fashion designer Jessica Simpson received a 5.00ct ruby engagement ring, set with pear-shaped diamonds, from her husband, Eric Johnson. Eric chose the gem as it's Jessica's birthstone. Jessica's younger sister Ashley also selected a ruby engagement ring. Her stunning Art Deco-inspired ring features a marquise cut diamond surrounded by rubies and smaller diamonds. A large round ruby is at the centre of actress Eva Longoria's engagement ring. The stunning stone is in a platinum halo setting, surrounded by diamonds.
So give your July-born love the joy of wearing rubies every day.

By Lisa Loomer, Directed by Vanessa Stalling
"A lively and intelligent look at one of the most divisive issues of our time"
– The Mercury News
Jan 18 - Feb 23, 2020 in Goodman's Albert Theatre
"You didn't give a damn about Roe the person—all you cared about was Roe the case!"-Norma, Act II, Scene II
Conceived in a pizza parlor and argued in the highest court in the land, 1973's Roe v. Wade legalized abortion—and is hotly debated still today. The complex young women behind the trial—attorney Sarah Weddington and plaintiff Norma McCorvey ("Jane Roe")—embark upon separate journeys that mirror the current polarization over the landmark decision. Shocking, humorous and "full of nuance and complexity" (NPR), Roe illuminates the heart and passion that each side has for their cause.
Playwright, Lisa Loomer
Lisa Loomer's Chicago credits include Living Out at The American Theater Company. New York productions include The Waiting Room, Living Out and Distracted at The Vineyard, Second Stage Theater and Roundabout Theatre Company. Other productions, including Roe, Homefree, Expecting Isabel, Bocón and Two Things You Don't Talk About have been at Arena Stage, The Mark Taper Forum, Seattle Repertory, Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Berkeley Repertory, Williamstown Theater Festival, The Kennedy Center, The Oregon Shakespeare Festival and in Mexico and Europe. Awards include the American Theater Critics Award, Pen Award, Jane Chambers Award, Imagen Award and Susan Smith Blackburn prize. Film credits include Girl, Interrupted and she also writes for television.
Director, Vanessa Stalling
Vanessa Stalling returns to Goodman Theatre, where she directed the Chicago premiere of The Wolves and was the 2016 Michael Maggio Directing Fellow. Most recently, she directed Photograph 51 at The Court Theatre and A Shayna Maidel at TimeLine Theatre. She is also known for her adaptation of Laurence Gonzales' work, United Flight 232, and her work as an associate artistic director of Redmoon Theatre. She's a company member of The House Theatre of Chicago and an assistant professor of directing at UCSD's Department of Theatre and Dance.

New Play About Roe v. Wade is a Prism for Looking at the American Divide
From NPR's Elizabeth Blair
"Loomer says she wasn't sure Roe v. Wade would make good theater, so she started reading about key players on both sides of the issue. She says, 'That, for me, was the story of the divide in American culture. I thought [Roe v. Wade] was a great prism for looking at that divide.'"

I prefer the world in my head, where magic exists and time does not.
My boyfriend came along and he took those two pictures of me that you'll see below; I really enjoy sharing a cultural moment with him, it truly is important to me as Art has always lifted my soul and spirit, and I feel blessed I can have that with him as well.
I didn't use to like going out at night before, I was such a dork… since I met my boyfriend, he takes me to nice places and I find myself discovering a new side to the world that's also pretty and really fun. Restaurants are my favorites of course, I'm in love with food. I also like ending up at private fashion events, or at Maxim's to enjoy great music. It's become a game because we never plan too much, so we go from a surprise to another and Paris is so good at that.
Before Alice got to Wonderland, she had to fall.
HOTEL PARTICULIER MONTMARTRE – Victoria is posing for me this evening; we tried to get into the Chinese New Year's vibe with the reds, but my photography ended up looking quite experimental (or "artsy" as she said). I actually like these unexpected results more, it gives a special feeling to our photoshoot.
why is being alive so expensive, i'm not even having a good time.
I started working for Apple a couple months back and met this incredible person there; she's super nice and generous, has this good aura about her and I really wanted to take some pictures using this old film-style editing. She's also an actress & very independant, which is why I admire her so much !
First shoot with bestie out !
I went to Zurich a couple weeks ago to see my best friend and we shot a bunch of photoshoots together – she modeled for me. This was an inspired look from the burlesque era. She was pretty thrilled with the results so I hope you're gonna like the idea as much as she did, took me a while to edit this set but with much excitement 🙂 I also did her makeup.
Tuesdays at the Louvre… the museum is closed that day, so it's perfect to take pictures of the pyramid from inside the Carrousel.
I'm a photographer who loves to travel and share on social medias my adventures. My biggest dream is to become a filmmaker : making videos is my passion. I hope you will enjoy my art projects and work.
I am also the Founder & Editor-in-Chief of Geekland magazine, so basically my world consists of cosplay, reading comics, attending conventions... (you name it) & the best part is that I get to report on it.

How to stay motivated and succeed in life?
Hack your life
Success is a subjective term. I believe every step you take towards reaching your goal, is success. Once you reach a goal, you set a bigger goal. That's the way life is.
Here are few things that work for me:
Starve distractions and Stay focused
Ask any wo/man who has succeeded in life and s/he will tell you that one of the most important ingredient was sharp focus. Distractions are anti-catalysts in the journey of success. Study says that it takes an average of 23 minutes and 15 seconds to get back on track after a distraction. A lot of context switches while you are doing something important , affects productivity. Put your phone on silent and try not to look at phone for notifications. Avoid using social media while you are at work. The best solution is to make a habit of checking notifications or messages twice a day.
Choose a hero to look up to
In the life of every person, there is someone who (s)he looks up to. It is the human psychology. We tend to choose a hero whom we appreciate. Why? The reason is obvious. Sometimes, we love the way our hero lives. Sometimes, it is his popularity. Sometimes, it is just because his dreams were what ours is now. He kept on improving each day, each week until one morning he became what he always wanted. And we start seeing the perfect version of ourselves in him. Each time we come across his story and picture, our inner self echoes, "Yes, this is who I would like to be one day". But just choosing a hero is sufficient? No. The detailed reason is here: Choose your hero, but…
Set smaller goals
Big goals can sometimes be frustrating and frightening. Break them down into smaller steps and work towards them. Not only it will help you with better planning, it will also change your psychology that it is do-able. For example, instead of setting a goal to reduce 50 pounds in a year, strive for 4 pounds a month. Or better, a pound per week.
Choose your company wisely
Be in company of positive minded people. It has been said that you are the average of five people you spend most time with. To succeed, your mind needs to be full of positive vibes.
Don't be afraid of failures
After failing thousand times, Thomas Edison said, "I didn't fail. I know thousand ways in which a bulb can't be made".
Success is a journey where you just have to be right once. It's a long process and it requires patience, perseverance, sharp focus and dedication.
It's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them. Make a mistake once, and it becomes a lesson. Make the same mistake twice, and it becomes a choice.
Get to know why are you doing this (Passion)
Last night I was watching a movie on the life of dancer. Her mentor asked her, "Tell me, why do you dance?" The answer was important for her success, simply because it defined her passion. She had the passion of a bullet. Passion keeps you going no matter how difficult the path is.
Get great mentors
Being in touch with great mentors helps to streamline your vision and get guidance in right direction. I was fortunate to have mentors like Sandeep (GFG Founder), Venki (GFG moderator) and Narasimha Karumanchi, especially Venki with whom I used to discuss technical problems for hours.

Abiel Foster (8 August 1735 – 6 February 1806) was an American clergyman and statesman from Canterbury, New Hampshire. He represented New Hampshire in the Continental Congress and the U.S. Congress.
Foster was born in Massachusetts in 1735. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1756 and went on to study theology. His ordination as a pastor in Canterbury was in 1761, and he served in that capacity until 1779. From 1783 to 1785, Foster was a delegate for New Hampshire to the Continental Congress. In 1789, he became a member of the First United States Congress as a Representative from New Hampshire.

An excellent online website providing with services on a proper level is a treasure. It is like a best online friend for a student, especially if this student is lost and panicking at the same time due to being assigned to write an essay. Far from everybody is able to write an essay just like that. It is understandable that not all the people possess writing skills. It is also highly important to be able to express oneself clearly and cohesively. One may have a huge number of thoughts and ideas but unable to write them down so it was more or less readable. Another might have a contrary problem, ability to write but no ideas. Such a person can be good at writing down someone else`s thoughts.
People working for excellent online services are able to do both – writing and expressing themselves, even more – re-writing, editing and proofreading. It sounds like fun but it is a hard work. Despite that, the team of writers and editors are professional enough and willing to help. Ever order is taken gladly, with joy, pleasure and taken a challenge. Every writer and editor of our service finds it rather interesting therefore, accepts the challenge with excitement. They treat customers as friends but no familiarity. Respect only and complete responsibility before a customer and a set challenge.
Even though it is hard to keep friends but possible and very important. When it comes to disappointments and unfulfilled promises, a customer`s memory is like elephant`s. Pleasant memories may become dim but insults remain lifelong. Service requires close and continuative attention. Managers are to think about it daily. It is essential for the company not to lose interest to the service otherwise, the company will change its brisk pace for shambling walk.
We do not let enthusiasm and inspiration wave leave the walls of the company. Our team of writers and editors are pure enthusiasts. We treat service as dynamic strategy. Needs and demands of customers are changed. It means that a customer service program needs to be changed. It has to be dynamic because tendencies come and go. Social and economic conditions are changed. For these reasons, huge demographic changes happen and it influences customers` demands and needs causing appearance of new ones.
Those employees, who work with customers directly, not only present a brand but also become a brand themselves. Those customers, who faced with unreliable and non-quality service in the past, are unlikely to apply for assistance or buy a product from a company again. If visitors of fast food stores are satisfied with a quality of food and service, the chance of them to come over again and to keep coming becomes 5 times higher.
Our company works upon its service and quality of papers delivered to the customers all the time. We work 24 hours during 7 days a week and pay attention to effectiveness of our service, to any changes happening to needs and demands of every customer, thinking outside the box when it comes to development of new customer service methods, insistency at interests down times and times of hardships, tools of keeping the commitment to service culture.

Advocates and tribal leaders briefed Congress Tuesday, saying that the Violence Against Women Act should be expanded upon to grant greater protections to tribal citizens at risk of assaults by non-Natives, and that Nations should receive adequate resources to implement the law.
Advocates and tribal leaders briefed Congress Tuesday, saying that the Violence Against Women Act should be expanded upon to grant greater protections to tribal citizens at risk of assaults by non-members, and that Nations should receive adequate resources to implement the law.
Prior to the implementation of special criminal jurisdiction under VAWA 2013, "there were few, if any, legal avenues through which Native women could seek criminal charges against non-Indians who committed intimate partner violence on tribal lands," said Jessica Mason Pieklo, vice president of law and the courts at Rewire.
Prosecuting non-Natives is an expensive exercise. Alfred Urbina, the attorney general of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, told Rewire in a phone interview that his tribe's domestic violence caseload has increased by 12 percent since implementation began, resulting in a 10 to 20 percent spike in operational costs for the tribal court system.

Egyptian Cotton is used to create all types of bedding from sheets to pillowcases and even comforters. Egyptian grown cotton means that there is more continuous fiber to use when creating threads or yarns. The humidity and rich soil along the Nile River Valley create the perfect conditions to grow long cotton fibers. This makes it stronger yet lighter than all other cotton. This incredibly soft fabric will last for years and years. Every time you wash Egyptian cotton sheets they will become softer and softer. Cotton grown in Egyptian fields will also produce less lint will not pill like other fabrics. This type of fabric is a great choice for any type of bedding!
I love Egyptian cotton, it's really smooth.
Mexican cotton isn't bad either.
Fantastic blog and very informative. I have a particular liking for egyptian cotton sheets. They are notably more comfortable than typical silk or cotton sheets.

The Sounds of Freezing
I have looked up at the line for eight years now. It had always seemed out of reach and too committing. What changed?
Last year Josh Hurst and I put up a variation finish to The Last Gentleman at Lake Willoughby. We called the pitch the Family Man M7 NEI5+. It was a stellar line and deserved to be completed as an independent route. The first two pitches looked hard and difficult to protect and that had always kept the perennial excuse handy "it's out of condition" which in literal translations means the individual saying I am "out of condition". This year everything seemed the same, too little ice on the second pitch and the third pitch was thinner than the previous year.
Eager for a big challenge that the ice on Mt Pisgah can offer Ben Gilmore and I headed up there a few weeks ago with the intention of linking as many routes as possible. Bullwinkle and Reign of Terror went down first and were quite fun. As we started up the Promenade the sun came out and within a half an hour we were rapping from the first pitch while a full air strike was going on.
The day was early and we were driving back to Madison. The thing I have learned from many days at the Lake is that you have to strike while the iron is hot. You don't get second chances often for the objective you want when you feel the energy to go for it.
The morning of January 24th was 9 degrees F when we left the car and it was snowing. Not ideal to attempt unknown mixed terrain, but we had the day off and we were there. We racked up to sounds of ice augers drilling ice-fishing holes on the lake below. I started up the first pitch confident but intimidated and soon enough my confidence was weaning.
Show-stoppers lurk around every corner when you try something with traditional gear and ground up, however that is part of the fun. The start offered quality torqueing and some hooking then a transfer to an iced up crack to the right. Then the crack pinched off to nothing. This was the first of many jumping off points. I left the security of what I could see. A big lock off to a blind hook, very hard to reverse, I was committed. That's what it takes, commitment. I tied off a shrub and go for a one-tooth torque layback with my feet plastered to nubbins high up. I pulled off the low percentage move and I knew I would not do it again. The effort was rewarded with a good cam the first one for twenty feet. I knew we were going to finish this climb once I pulled off that move.
The rest of the first pitch went smoothly but still challenging. The second pitch didn't let up. Somewhere in my head where fantasy lives I had been thinking the first pitch would be the crux. I wasn't wrong but I wasn't right. The second pitch delivered the same intensity and commitment. Twenty feet off the belay was a roof with a crack through it. I figured slot the crack and you are home free. The trouble was getting to it and trusting that the ten pieces of crappy gear constituted something good enough to catch me if I blew it.I am not strong and I am not particularly gifted but I am stubborn and that proved to be the answer.
A lot of people will ask "who lead the crux pitch?" it's a legitimate question if you want gear beta. Crux pitches are rarely successful because of the person on the sharp end they are always successful because of the person belaying them. Ben tolerated and encouraged me through the first two leads, which took no less then 2½ hours each to lead. Heady climbs require total trust in yourself and that comes from total trust in your partner and the energy that they feed you through the rope.
I was finally to ice and despite the fact that it was heavily sublimated and hanging an inch from any contact from the rock it was ice. I took off. Ice is always easy when you have been on sketchy mixed terrain. At this point it was late and we had foolishly left our headlamps in our packs. Fortunately two friends came to check on our progress after their day was done over on Called on Account of Rains. I bribed Elliot and Dan with a twelve pack of PBR if they would climb up the first pitch of The Last Gentleman and traverse to Ben before he left the belay. Ah! Beer is the universal motivator.
Ben led the third pitch, which I had been on the previous year, however the line was entirely different. The ice was steep and junk and every stick echoed the gut retching sounds of hollow cold brittle ice. He stealthily maneuvered around the fragile sheets that would not hold body weight and arrived at the exit roof at dark with too much rope drag to continue. When I arrived I kept climbing to the trees to finish up. The exit is good climbing with good gear, finally a reward for our effort.
Setting up the rappels we enjoyed the unique sounds of expansion cracks booming on the lake below. The air temp was 0 degrees F. We were done. Kryosonics was ours to enjoy. (Posted Jan 31, 05:45 by Kevin Mahoney)

Q: Javascript Change class does not behave properly I've used a javascript to change the image on a menu list item (from css class)when its clicked.
Its supposed to change from "menu_grey" to "menu_red". It does happen but its momentarily switched back to the same class. This is what I have in HTML:

%lang("lang_customer_framework_home")%

As this is an alteration of the design in a pre-developed website and the layout of the menu is defined in CSS, i dont want to make a new menu and design as i would then risk to destroy rest of the design. The CSS class looks like this:
#menu li a.menuHome
{

How can I make the image stay "red" after clicking home ?
Suggestions are appreciated :)

A: The page navigates away, you would need to set it on the serverside or on the page that loads. The next page has no clue that you added a class to it. It does not care since it is a brand new page.

A: Just stop the event from firing when someone clicks on the link. There are several ways to do this, here's a few suggestions:

Hispanic organization's president leaves, successor named
By Brandi Bottalico and bbottalico@capgaznews.com

As she did for all board meetings at her home, Joyce Masterson made chili.
But when she filled the slow cooker earlier this month, she had bittersweet emotions.
It was her last meeting as president and CEO of the Organization of Hispanic and Latin Americans of Anne Arundel County.
Masterson resigned from her volunteer position at OHLA on April 9 after 12 years.
"I've enjoyed it immensely," she said. "I think the time has come after all these years to go on to something else."
The organization provides assistance for the Hispanic population on matters such as immigration, legal questions, referrals, translation services and preparing tax documents.
"It's just seeing the people get the help they need," said Masterson, who is in her 70s.
She primarily wrote grant proposals to the City of Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Rotary clubs and other organizations, as well as finding bilingual volunteers to staff the office.
"My best memories are being blessed with so many wonderful people there."
Harwood resident Tony Gamboa was voted in as her successor, and his wife, Irene, was voted in as vice president in place of Masterson's husband, Norm.
"They'll do a great job," Masterson said. "He speaks the language fluently."
She wants to finish a book about her life. And she might visit the volunteer center to see what other opportunities are out there.
Meanwhile, Masterson will continue volunteering for the Opportunities Industrialization Center in Annapolis. She previously worked part-time for the Environmental Protection Agency and the Naval Academy. Outside of volunteering, she likes to write and boat.
"I don't think I'll ever retire," she said. "I think the key is to keep busy doing things that you enjoy doing — and I've enjoyed OHLA."
Masterson became involved in OHLA after the organization nearly had to close because of lack of funding and legal status.
She was asked to help because she worked for the General Assembly as a legislative aide, but she didn't have any experience with the Hispanic population and doesn't speak Spanish.
Still, Masterson secured funding to keep the organization afloat. She hopes OHLA can get more funding so it can continue to assist the growing Hispanic population.
Tony Gamboa hopes the center will eventually have enough money to be able to pay some of its volunteers.
He has been a volunteer since 2007. His parents are originally from Mexico and he was born in California. His great-aunt lived with his family and didn't speak English, so they spoke Spanish at home, he said.
He provides legal assistance at OHLA on Thursdays, and also helps with tax preparation.
He is also on the board of the Harwood Civic Association and retired from the federal government in 2006.
"Pretty soon your retirement almost becomes a full-time job," he said.
Masterson said that in her time at OHLA, the number of Hispanic people the organization serves has grown with the population. When she first started, the organization served about 100 a month — a figure that has doubled.
"A lot of them can't speak English very well and can't read English and they need assistance," Tony Gamboa said. "We try to provide that and give them the help to carry on."

After a human shooting, Florida tempers its advice on hunting invasive iguanas
Green iguanas aren't welcome to settle in Florida.
By Ephrat Livni
Senior reporter, law & politics, DC.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) wishes to inform state residents that they can kill green iguanas, which are not a native species, but they can't go around shooting the creatures willy-nilly.
In a statement on July 25, the organization clarified confusion about its earlier guidance on hunting the invasive species, stating, "Unfortunately, the message has been conveyed that we are asking the public to just go out there and shoot them up. This is not what we are about; this is not the 'wild west.'"
In early July, media reports noted that the FWC had declared "open season" on green iguanas. Some people interpreted the guidance as clearance to kill the creatures by any means necessary, although the agency's website specifically states that they must be hunted humanely and are, like all nonnative, invasive species, protected by state anti-cruelty laws.
Now that a human has been shot in one resident's quest to get rid of iguanas, the FWC is being more explicit, however. "If you are not capable of safely removing iguanas from your property, please seek assistance from professionals who do this for a living," said FWC commissioner Rodney Barreto in the most recent statement.
On July 5, an iguana hunter armed with a pellet gun accidentally shot a swimming pool maintenance worker in a residential neighborhood of Boca Raton. E-Lyn Bryan heard a shout and saw blood squirting from a wound sustained by her "pool guy." She told NBC 6 in south Florida, "We have iguanas everywhere. If neighbors are gonna be like the Wild West and shoot at everything, someone's gonna get killed." Bryan said her neighbors were "horrified" by the incident, which drew police and paramedics. "You need to protect your children. The kids fish back here all the time," she warned.
While the latest FWC statement doesn't specifically refer to the Boca Raton shooting, it is notable that it used the same "wild west" formulation as Bryan employed with the local press. The accident may not be the only reason for the agency's course correction, however.
In a blog post on July 10, the Humane Society of the United States accused the agency of failing to provide sufficient guidance on what precisely "humane killing" entails. It predicted that the state's efforts to curb the invasive species' population growth would lead to the deaths of native iguanas as well. "Last year we reported that the commission had hired contractors from the University of Florida to trap and kill iguanas either with bolt guns or by smashing their heads against hard objects. Conscripting Florida residents to kill the animals amplifies that archaic approach and reinforces a troubling message—that animals seen as 'pests' or as a nuisance should be summarily killed," the humane society wrote.
Green iguana populations are problematic because they "can cause considerable damage to infrastructure, including seawalls and sidewalks," according to the FWC. The agency is now urging local homeowners to contact professionals who specialize in getting rid of the creatures rather than acting independently.
The company Iguana Busters, for example, which offers commercial and residential services in South Florida and the Florida Keys, promises that it "incorporates safe and humane techniques while removing the iguanas." But its website offers no details on these methods.

Defines requirements and procedures for the conferral of graduate degrees and for participation in commencement ceremonies.
Graduate degrees are conferred by the authority of the Senate of the Academic Council upon the recommendation of the Committee on Graduate Studies and the faculty of the department, school, or program.
Upon recommendation to the Senate of the Academic Council by the faculty of the relevant departments or schools and the Committee on Graduate Studies, graduate degrees are awarded four times each year, at the conclusion of Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer terms. All diplomas, however, are prepared and awarded in Spring quarter.
Committee on Graduate Studies (policy)
Office of the Registrar via Stanford Services & Support (implementation)
Applicability:
All matriculated graduate students and programs.
1. Application to Graduate
2. Documentation of Degree Conferral
3. Walkthrough of Graduation
4. Withdrawal of Application to Graduate
Students must apply for conferral of a graduate degree by filing an Application to Graduate by the deadline for each term. The deadlines are published in the Time Schedule. A separate application must be filed for each degree program and for each conferral term. Applications are filed through Axess.
Students who miss the deadline for filing their Application to Graduate in Axess must submit a paper request to the Office of the Registrar, along with a Diploma Distribution form and a brief, typed statement indicating why the student missed the application deadline. There is a processing fee for a late application to graduate.
Requests for conferral are reviewed by the Office of the Registrar and the student's department to verify completion of degree requirements.
The Office of the Registrar is responsible for producing final recommending lists, based on students' applications to graduate, for review by departments. Departments are responsible for verifying and signing recommending lists to the Office of the Registrar by the deadline for each quarter's graduation.
Students must be registered in the term of degree conferral. Students with unmet financial obligations resulting in the placement of a hold on their registration cannot receive a transcript, statement of completion, degree certificate, or diploma until the hold is released by the Student Financial Services office (see GAP 5.5, Enrollment Holds).
Students are typically expected to apply to graduate when they have completed their degree requirements. The University, however, reserves the right to confer a degree on a student who has completed all of the requirements for a degree even though the student has not applied to graduate; such an individual would then be subject to the University's usual rules and restrictions regarding future enrollment or registration.
The Office of the Registrar posts newly-conferred degrees on students' records approximately ten days after the conferral date of each term. At that time, the program status for the degree changes to "conferred." Transcripts ordered after that date will show the conferred degree and date.
Students who receive degrees at the end of Summer, Autumn, and Winter quarters are sent degree certificates approximately two weeks after the conferral date by the Office of the Registrar. These certificates state the student's name, degree program completed, and date of conferral.
Diplomas are distributed only at Commencement or by mail following Commencement to students receiving Spring quarter degrees and to students who received degrees at the end of the previous Summer, Autumn, and Winter quarters. In Spring quarter, students must apply to graduate by the second week in April. in order to have a diploma prepared for the Commencement ceremony. The exact date is published in the university calendar.
Statements of Completion
Doctoral students who have submitted their dissertations and who need confirmation of their status for employment purposes before conferral may request a Statement of Completion. These statements are prepared by the Office of the Registrar after verifying with the department administrator that all degree requirements have been fulfilled, and that there are no holds on the student's record. The Statement of Completion states that the student has completed all degree requirements and that the degree will be conferred on the next conferral date. To request a Statement of Completion, students should submit a Stanford Services & Support ticket, directed to the Records Unit in the Office of the University Registrar.
Holds on Documentation
Students who have certain holds on their records may not receive a transcript, degree certificate, diploma, or statement of completion. Generally, these holds represent unmet financial obligations or result from University disciplinary action (see GAP 5.5, Enrollment Holds).
Students who have satisfied necessary eligibility requirements may participate in Stanford commencement exercises at the end of Spring quarter prior to actual degree conferral. Students who wish to do this must file a written request with their department by the published deadline (some departments may require a Commencement Walkthrough Petition, while others do not). This is NOT an application to graduate, nor is it a petition to withdraw an application to graduate. Students must submit an application to graduate via Axess by the published deadline.
The student must receive departmental approval to be eligible to participate in a commencement walkthrough. In addition:
M.A./M.S. students should have completed at least 36 units
Ph.D. students should have completed their oral defense.
The Office of the Registrar does not process or approve walkthrough requests for graduate students.
Students who wish to withdraw a request for conferral or make changes to the Application to Graduate should notify the Student Services Center in writing through the Withdrawal of Application to Graduate form, or other appropriate form.
By signing and submitting a Withdrawal of Application to Graduate, the student requests the Office of the Registrar to withdraw the application to graduate for the quarter indicated. The student acknowledges that he or she must submit a new application to graduate via Axess for the quarter in which graduation is anticipated by the deadline published in the academic calendar.
Students should discuss their graduation plans with their advisor and with department student services staff. International students holding F-1 or J-1 visas should also consult the Bechtel International Center to discuss whether filing this form will affect their visa status in any way.
