2013's: Any Issues?
Curious if anyone has been having any issues thus far with the 2013's, particularly, with the new Murphy Controls system?
Wondering if the 2012 issues have been resolved with the move away from Medallion?
How was your 2013 been running, good, bad, or otherwise?
Murphy has been a great system so far, and much easier to use.
Awesome to hear. Looking forward to plumbing in some extra sacs too now that we are back to timers.
I haven't seen a single post regarding 2013 issues. That really positive news. I think the move to Murphy made all the difference. It's interesting that one component can effect a boat this much but I guess with computers this is the case.
2013 X-30, 6.0L with 2500lbs of ballast and 500 lbs of lead.
Well I believe the Murphy system is the comple wiring harnesses, ECM and the control screen. That is what makes it so good, one system designed specific for each model. they are a customer of mine and they do a great job and a ton of testing.
I'm pretty sure MC committed to fixing all of the minor computer bugs with Medallion, I've exchanged emails with my dealer and them on it. It would be great to hear from 2012 owners that received the most recent software upgrade (nov/dec 2012) to get positive confirmation all is fixed.
Based on PM with various TT'ers, their 2012 issues were pretty minor and they stated that the Murphy system alone was not the root cause of their desire to move to a 2013. That being said, there were issues in 2012....and I agree the Murphy System will be better. At first glance it could be a Blackberry Playbook to iPad comparison, we'll just have to see what Blackberry 10 holds... (Laughing at the similarities).
Not to worry, I'll swap out the Medallion for the Apple iOS control system in 2017.... :-)
Sent using my iPad running Murphy OS
Just curious, is the old medallion system worth taking a colossal hit on a boat? I've seen so many 2012's on the market lately, and selling a 1 year old boat and taking a (+-)10 thousand dollar hit would probably keep me in the boat until things got worked out. So curious to see if you guys think it's worth it. Especially for the exact same boat you already had.
2019 XT22-Wetsounds galore
2017 Misty Harbor Tri-Toon
1985 S&S- Gone but never forgotten
My hit wasn't near 10K. Even if it was, that's only a 10% depreciation, small for first year, plus the value added on the 2013's...no brainer!
some edits...
That was the exact question I struggled with. So here's how I broke that down...
If an option is installed from factory, unless the glass has to be remoulded, it doesn't bother me too much as I could add it afterward. Similar to being able to put a trailer hitch on a vehicle, if I can add/delete/modify after the fact, without much drama and within 20-30% of what it costed as a factory option, I didn't care. The square rails and new aluminium parts can be bought from MC by design for about $500, the new crisscross pattern pads (love them) on the hips/walkway are likely at most another $1200, remote on the console $400 (pro install), cool new carpet $1200 and I don't want the new windshield (would likely require glass repairs) or new cans but call them $3000. $6,600 total. I'd pick and choose options, but that's the all in cost, excluding Murphy.
Also if one or two or even three features would cost more that the above but less than the depreciation, then it doesn't matter. What I mean by this, is that I bought the boat for the vinyl, glass, motor and creature comforts. I am a technologist by trade, so the electronics need to work but I don't expect them to be as clean as an iPad interface. Simply put, the cruise needs to be accurate, the ballast systems should be fairly automated and the stereo system needs to work.
I looked into these problems in October and concluded that worst case scenario, if MC decided to change its rich history of after sales service and not stand behind its products (very very low probability, quite frankly a solid warranty record is one of the key reasons people buy MC), then I'd have to pay to replace Medallion of the key components. The ECM, the screen (2,000 based on my phone calls to FW Murphy), ECM, wiring harnesses, zero off etc 5,000. Install, 3,000. All in, 10,000...likely high, but close enough. edit - that's the retail cost, suspect with enough arm-wrestling, it could be less than 1/2 that cost.
So, then it came down to support, well the warranty on a lot will be the dealer. So it is a moot point as the dealer plays a huge role in solving problems with these boats. My dealer has a solid reputation for standing behind what they sell.
The additional costs of plumbing two new pumps over just piggy backing I attributed $2,000 to that.
I'm keeping my 2012 for now, but leaning hard on MC and my dealer. So far great results and instant response from ALL levels of MC on this specific issue. Terry McNew has been an absolute pleasure to work with.
edit: Am I ticked off that MC would build a 2012 boat where I have to look at adding a complete new ballast system in order to add bags - absolutely. Am I ticked that I've had to spend my time figuring out all of the above after spending a fair amount of money on it, yes. But I'm more mad at myself for not doing more research on the 2012 than anything at all. But now that I'm in this situation, I'm doing the best I can to resolve it.
I bought a remote for about 100.00 with a Y plug. New, it floats and solves the stereo issues which were the least of my worries. Consistent cruise, ballast automation and general easy of configuration were my bigger worries.
Will I buy an extended warranty on the touch screen, NO. Because if in 2-3 years it gives me grief, I've made enough noise with MC and my dealer and I trust that they will be there for me. Otherwise, I'll be forced to spend 5-7K to replace the entire Medallion with something else. Keeping in mind that the touch screen could just be removed and I could go with manual controls in 3-5 years from now, and that option could be far less expensive.
second edit... To get back to the subject of this post and follow on question, I think the Murphy system is better. I also think that trading up from a 2012 to a 2013 is an option for every owner, it happens all the time. I'm less worried about the Medallion system now than I was in October based on several (literally dozens) conversations with many stake holders.
It is tough to compare whether Nick or 501 or others got a great deal in comparison to mine because there are a lot of factors at play. Their "all in" price for their 2012 might have been 10K higher than mine with the same options as an example. Frankly, I don't need to know what they paid, because I know what I paid and I know my tolerance to risk and I've been given assurances that the boat will do what I want it to do. Trust me, if the boat doesn't perform to what I've been promised, you'll be seeing a postings of a new X30 in the factory for me in the fall of this year. I'm a betting man and I'd bet that won't be the case.

My story is different. While jokingly looking at a 2013 my dealer through me an amazing trade-in number.
Here's my justification:
-didn't have to pay the $500 service/winterization fee
-no winter storage
-didn't have to pay for a couple gel repairs
-was able to port over my extended warranty
-saved myself 4K for the aftermarket ballast system I was going to have put in, instead it will cost me 400 bucks
-2013 value added including new trailer, new aluminum accents, new Murphy controls, Zero Off, new platform, tracking fins
-get a new boat with 0 hours (make some money up on the back end as my future theoretical trade is worth more)
-add some options I wish I had on my 2012 (Sirius, low profile trailer, hot shower)
-avoid the possibility of having a hard time selling lest the 2012's be seen as a lemon year
So I still have to write a check but considering all of the above worth it IMO.

My good friend Rachel is a huge Jimmy Buffet fan - she dresses up to go to the shows and even has a big huge GIANT parrot that she wears on her shoulder. Thus, I've always wanted to go to Cheeseburger in Paradise over in Eastgate.
I've driven by many times but a couple weeks ago - we were over that way around lunch time so I finally made the fiance go!
Larry got the Beach Burger with Sweet Potato chips. I hadn't heard much about this place and wasn't expecting much - but damn - it was great! I mean - look at that plate - I'm hungry just thinking about it again! The chips were very good too - very unique offering that we will definitely get again!
I got the Guacamole Bacon Burger but on a regular bun - didn't feel like onions that day. It was more a hunk of avocado with some guac stuck to it - but again - really tasty burger. I also went for a side of queso with my fries and have to say - I think I've found my Ohio queso to match up with Carlos O'Kelly's in Iowa! Granted - it's very americanized dip - but man - I love it! I'll be back for that alone!
Here's a shot of the bar - it's very islandy. The outside deck area is where we sat and that was really nice. The view of the parking lot isn't much to brag about but overall it was a great visit! Pleasantly surprised to say the least!
Why Should You Go? If you're in the area - it's a good darned burger! And try the sweet potato chips...they're really great.

Policy debate in the current recession is often portrayed to be an irreconcilable political battle, pitting those pushing austerity against those advocating growth. Indeed, substantive real differences do separate groups having different views on what different policies can achieve. But, equally, uncertainty on the state of the economy clouds judgment on what appropriate policies should be, especially so in times of economic crisis. This article examines that uncertainty. By studying one example — UK policy options at the beginning of 2010 — it argues we need to understand better the implications of different measurements on an economy.
"You're for me or against me. Choose."
No one wants to live in a stagnant economy. Even those who don't believe higher incomes make people happier can't bear to see their honest, hardworking neighbours unable to make monthly rent or mortgage payment, or having to choose uncomfortably between new clothes and shoes for the kids or food for the table. No one wants to see masses of unemployed on the streets. Everyone is for growth.
But, at the same time, even the most diehard pro-growth proponents must acknowledge that government efforts to further increase growth cannot always be appropriate. If an economy were already close to full employment or were in any other way overheated, then it is right for fiscal and monetary stimulus to withdraw. Raising tax revenues and lowering government spending — putting the government's finances to order and restoring to health the nation's balance sheets — all have a place in sensible, responsible policy-making.
Standing for growth does not mean constant and unwavering support for always high government spending and expansionary monetary policy. By the same token, backing policies to lower debt and deficits does not mean wanting economic life to be wretched. Even when the final goal is the same — to have a healthy, prosperous, inclusive economy — depending on circumstances there is a time and place for different approaches to government policy.
A debate on UK growth versus austerity is on one level a debate about what policy transmission mechanisms are most effective for bringing about long-run sustainable economic growth: People disagree about what works. But equally important the debate is one about the current state of the economy. Only after the fact will it become obvious what the right policy actions should have been. Moreover, because of lags in their effectiveness, policy actions need to anticipate: Will expansionary effects kick in only after the bottom of the economic cycle has already passed, and thus overheat an already healthy economy?
Many observers have firm views, conditioned by sound economic analysis, on the first of these issues, what appropriate growth and austerity policies are. It strikes me, however, that the second matters much more in extraordinary situations: in those circumstances, knowledge of the current state of the economy necessarily carries far greater uncertainty. Generally, the range of economic statistics to look at is broad and constantly changing. External circumstances in a shifting world economy will confound historical regularities. Economics education in every institution makes students understand mechanisms of how policies affect an economy, but hardly anywhere is there training on how to assess rigorously the state of an economy. That latter is merely "monitoring". Perhaps accurately judging the state of the economy is impossible — but that doesn't mean zero understanding is where one should stay.
Policy recommendations in a shifting world economy
That this is important is usefully emphasised by looking over a recent turn of events. In February 2010 twenty economists signed a letter to London's Sunday Times supporting a plan to lower steadily the UK structural budget deficit, starting as early as the 2010/11 fiscal year. (For transparency, I should say here I was one of those 20.) The letter suggested that failure to do so could, among other things, raise interest rates and undermine UK recovery, given how the economy had entered the recession with a large structural budget deficit. Not unexpectedly, this proposal was not uniformly accepted, and many distinguished economists suggested instead that such a policy was potentially risky and that the first priority had to be to restore robust growth. But to bring about growth was never a point of dispute. So, it might be useful now to look back and assess the balance of risks then extant.
On the one hand, for some observers, there has never been any doubt: "the UK had a depressed economy then, and it still does now." (Indeed, that particular writer upon reading that in August 2012 some of the original group of twenty had changed their minds expressed disappointment "to see so many of the prodigal economists asserting that they were responding to changed circumstances rather than admitting that they simply got it wrong. For circumstances really haven't changed […]." (Again, for transparency, I was one of those reported to have changed my mind, and indeed I was reported to have emphasized changed circumstances.)
Did circumstances really remain fixed, and were they really so transparent? Complicating the picture: Statistics on recessions become available only with a fixed delay — to be in recession, an economy has to have had negative GDP growth over two successive quarters. So, to be in a double dip recession, well, it's not enough just to announce one's beliefs, the data have to come out just so.
What did the world look like in early 2010?
Things look really bad: Major recession
In September 2008, Lehman Brothers had filed for bankruptcy. In January 2009, the IMF had predicted world growth would fall to 0.5% for the year ahead, only three months later to revise the figure significantly downwards to -1.3%. The World Bank had forecast in March that the world economy would contract by an even larger 1.7% in 2009: This would be the first decline in world GDP since the Second World War. The International Labour Organization estimated that 51mn jobs would be destroyed in 2009, raising world unemployment to 7.1%. Growth in China had fallen from 9% in 2008 to an annual rate of 6.1% in the first quarter of 2009, the lowest recorded figure since 1992. Between July 2007 and November 2008 world stock markets had lost US$26.4 trillion in value, more than half of world annual GDP. In April 2009, Olivier Blanchard, the IMF's Chief Economist, had written "the crisis appears to be entering yet a new phase, in which a drop in confidence is leading to a drop in demand, and a major recession." The UK had been officially in recession mid-2008, with the last two quarters of 2008 suffering declines in GDP.
Things looked grim.
The return to growth?
By the beginning of 2010, the UK recession was already 18 months in train. In this modern era, advanced economies (like the US) have only had short sharp downturns: the 11 US recessions since 1945 averaged only 11 months in duration, with the four recessions between 1980 and 2001 lasting 6, 16, and then 8 months twice, respectively. By 2007, the UK had gone 15 years since the end of its last recession, one that lasted just 15 months. Of course, with hindsight, we now know it is well possible for slumps anywhere in the world to drag on, but set against both the UK's own experience and against a broader history (that of advanced economies, like the US, towards which the UK had progressively become more similar), it was not unreasonable to think by early 2010 that the UK was about ready to grow again.
No one would have reckoned in early 2010 that the global economy had regained robust health. But, equally, was it apparent the international situation was dismal? By the first quarter of 2009, Brazil was reported to be no longer in recession, having grown 2% after the two previous quarters of GDP declines. The OECD forecast the Eurozone and the US would show positive growth in the last six months of 2009.
Back on track: By mid 2009 Asia's industrial producation had recovered not just to pre-crisis levels but to its pre-2008 growth trend.
Early 2010 was six months past when incomes in China and the rest of emerging Asia had already recovered. Industrial production was not just back to pre-2008 heights, but to its extrapolated pre-2008 growth trend. The second quarter of 2009 saw a string of astounding figures from across Asia: all at annual rates, the South Korean economy grew by 2.3%, its fastest expansion in over five years; the Chinese economy grew 7.9%; the Malaysian economy expanded by 4.8%; the Thai economy grew 2.3%; both Japan and Hong Kong were showing rising incomes again, after four successive quarters of GDP declines. Singapore announced its emergence from recession, big-time, with annualized GDP growth of 20% that quarter.
Sure, China's government had announced in November 2008 a US$600bn (CNY4,000bn) fiscal stimulus package: that by itself was impressive enough, but also most observers at the time believed growth in export-oriented China and Asia occurred primarily from Western demand. The East was growing again. Surely the West must be demanding. It was natural to think that, somewhere somehow, the West must have recovered.
Stimulus is an aircraft carrier
That "somewhere, somehow" was not unreasonable to hypothesize in the slew of policy actions undertaken in all the world's major economies between late 2007 and early 2010. In September 2008 the US Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Canada, and the Swiss National Bank, in concert, added US$180bn of liquidity to international money money markets. By November 2008, in the space of just four months, the US Federal Reserve had pumped US$592bn into the US$ monetary base, increasing that monetary base by 70%. In October 2008, US lawmakers approved a US$700bn rescue package to purchase bad debt from US banks; the UK government unveiled a reform package. amounting to £400bn (i.e., again US$700bn) to provide funds to UK financial institutions; the Japanese government announced a US$270bn fiscal stimulus package targeted at families and small businesses. The following month saw China's fiscal stimulus of US$600bn (already-mentioned) and the European Commission's US$260bn recovery plan. Further add into the mix Japan's April 2009 stimulus package of US$98.5bn or 2% of that country's GDP, and we're talking significant fiscal stimulus in all the world's major economies.
It wasn't all just fiscal expansion either. From a value of 6.25% in early August 2007, the US Federal Reserve discount rate was reduced to 5.75% later that month, to 4.75% the month after, and then again to 4.5% the month after that. In January 2008 the Fed cut interest rates by 0.75 percentage points, the largest single reduction in over a quarter of a century. In October 2008, just one month after their concerted action on international money market liquidity, six of the world's most important central banks coordinated a simultaneous interest rate reduction of 0.5 percentage points. By the end of October, the US Federal Reserve had again slashed interest rates, this time down to 1%, the lowest level since 2004. The following month, the European Central Bank cut interest rates by 0.75 percentage points, its largest ever single reduction; Sweden's Riksbank, by a record 1.75 percentage points; the Bank of Korea by a record 1 percentage point; the Bank of Canada lowered its benchmark rate to 1.5%, the lowest since 1958. In December, the US Federal Reserve's discount rate had gotten down to between 0 and 0.25%; Japan's, 0.1%; China cut interest rates for the fifth time in four months. The following month, January 2009, the Bank of England reduced its interest rate to 1.5%, the lowest setting in over 300 years of the Bank's operation.
Monetary stimulus had by then become not just a matter of reducing interest rates. After all, interest rates were already effectively zero. In November 2008, the US Federal Reserve injected US$800bn into the economy, buying US$600bn of mortgage-backed securities and applying the remainder to unclog consumer credit channels. The Bank of England similarly engaged in quantitative easing, buying securities with newly-printed money (£75bn in March 2008, and then £50bn in May and then again in August 2009) to reach a total outlay of £175bn (US$294bn) by the end of 2009. The European Central Bank, in June 2009, pumped US$628bn in one-year loans into the Eurozone's banking system.
In the current Eurozone crisis, one hears talk of the troika (the European Central Bank, the European Union, and the IMF) taking a bazooka to the sovereign debt problem. If so, the collection of 2008-2009 policy actions might seem more akin to sending in an entire aircraft carrier.
The second quarter of 2009 recorded the official end of recessions not just in the East, as described earlier, but also in the two largest Eurozone economies France and Germany, both seeing positive growth again after four consecutive quarters of GDP declines. Financial institutions reported profits: notably Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase (profits up 36% from the previous year), Deutsche Bank (up 67% over the same period in 2008), Barclays, RBS, Italy's largest bank UniCredito, and the Dutch financial services group ING. By September 2009, the FTSE 100 had again breached the 5,000-point threshold, recovering completely all losses since October 2008.
Time to get ahead of the curve
Arrayed against this monetary and fiscal stimulus worldwide and the evidence of the world economy already growing again (admittedly most strongly in the East), one might conclude that policy-makers ought now cast a cautious eye on government balance sheets.
But that choice for the UK still remained in delicate balance. In September 2009 the OECD had forecast the UK would be the only G7 economy still to be in recession by year-end, with both the US and the Eurozone predicted to show two quarters of consecutive growth. Three months earlier, the OECD had suggested the pace of decline among its members was slowing and that the world economy had nearly reached the bottom of its worst post-War recession, but that the UK would continue to show zero growth in 2010. In July 2009 NIESR predicted that UK GDP per capita would not recover pre-recession levels until early 2014.
Effects of policies often only emerge with a lag. And, generally, government policy-making errs too often by not getting ahead of the curve. On top of all that, the UK is a small open economy, and its debt and output markets are strongly influenced by international developments. Was 2010 the right time to start restoring the UK government's balance sheet?
The UK's debt/GDP ratio was in line with the largest Eurozone economies and therefore larger than Spain's; its deficit/GDP ratio was worse than all except Ireland's.
By July 2009, UK government debt had risen to 57% of GDP, the highest ratio since 1974. That month, the UK's public sector net borrowing showed its first July deficit in 13 years. Earlier in the year, Spain had become the first AAA-rated sovereign nation to have its credit rating downgraded since Japan in 2001. In December 2009, Greece acknowledged sovereign debt exceeding €300bn (US$423bn), the highest in modern history, resulting in a debt/GDP ratio of 113%, nearly double the Eurozone limit. The chart shows the UK in 2010 right among the pack of the largest European economies (the size of each ball indicates total GDP) in its debt/GDP ratio, i.e., larger than Spain's, but with a worse deficit/GDP position than all except Ireland.
In February 2010, it didn't take a lot of imagination to see how, all else equal, UK government borrowing could easily have become just as expensive and as difficult as in the most stressed Eurozone economies.
Backing off from austerity
In retrospect, of course, we know the austerity policy did not work in the UK. A reversal might well be warranted, because circumstances had changed, not because things were the same.
After the first couple months of 2010, the Eurozone economy went into free fall much faster and much further than one might have expected. This had two effects on the UK fiscal position: on the one hand, UK debt turned out looking, well, not so bad after all relative to comparable advanced TransAtlantic economies. The fear that UK borrowing would become overly costly had become much less relevant.
Germany has kept growing exports through a shift in their direction of motion.
On the other hand, the continued inability of both sides of the Atlantic to resume economic growth meant a further dramatic drag on UK economic performance. Unlike, say, Germany, the UK has historically consistently exported mostly to the slowest-growing advanced economies, and so this TransAtlantic slowdown has considerably depressed the UK exports and thus the UK economy. [Germany, by contrast, today exports more to Developing Asia than it does to the US.]
So, the international environment has shifted in such a way that the urgency for UK rapid debt reduction has lessened.
The other large factor is how market perception on the stance of UK monetary policy too has shifted. For most observers now, the Bank of England has made clear how it is willing to put even more resources into monetary easing.
What can one conclude from this? First, policy-making needs to be sensitive to circumstances, and today in the UK, that means international circumstances especially. Monitoring and assessing the state of the world economy is needed. Second, expansionary policies need to be more sharply designed. While austerity might not, under the current circumstances, any longer command the support it once did, pro-growth proponents need to explain things better. Just throwing money at the problem plainly does not work. Obviously, the world's expansionary policies over 2008-2009 succeeded out East, but they did nothing to revive the UK economy. Why will they do so now? How will this time be different?

"Everyone is for growth"
Wrong. Everyone who can't face reality is for growth.
"what policy(s)… are most effective for bringing about long-run sustainable economic growth"
None. It's impossible under present conditions. There are too many people so the biosphere is being crushed. In the shorter term, China and other low wage countries have taken too many jobs from the first world. They can't be restored, nor can the workers who formerly held them be retrained up by education, so first world lifestyles must be drastically curtailed for most people. All these bubbles have occurred because governments and their peoples didn't want to face reality.
Also, this article is much too long and says very little of use to anyone.

Continued Progress Over the Past 10 Years (2000–10)
Significant progress has been made toward protecting the rights of, meeting the individual needs of, and improving educational results for infants, toddlers, children, and youths with disabilities.
The first decade of the 21st century has witnessed a continued national commitment for access to a free appropriate public education intertwined with a renewed national concern for accountability and assessments that help improve results for each child with a disability.
The 2004 amendments to IDEA (P.L. 108-446) sharpened federal mandates to increase state and local accountability for educating children with disabilities and expanded methods to identify students with specific learning disabilities. This law also continued federal commitment and support to ensure that special education and early intervention personnel are highly qualified.
IDEA mandates for strong accountability are closely aligned with the ESEA, as amended in 2001 (P.L. 107-110), which holds schools and districts responsible for the performance of students, including students with disabilities. The accountability provisions in the 2004 reauthorization of IDEA called for states to establish targets for the participation rate and proficiency rate for students with disabilities in assessments. These laws have established high standards and strengthened the importance of rigorous research that drives investments in knowledge production. These laws are strengthening knowledge utilization through mandates for local decision making to increase sustained practice improvement and to increase access to and progress in the general education curriculum. Strong mandates and high standards also are helping to ensure that both the producers and users of scientifically based practices are held accountable, with shared responsibility for improving learning and achievement for all students.
Today, IDEA-funded centers and projects support educators in learning how to include students with disabilities in statewide assessments, including issues specifically related to appropriate accommodations, and how to administer and score alternate assessments. They prepare personnel; demonstrate relevant technologies; provide technical assistance to states, districts, and schools; and educate parents. Notable examples of these investments include the University of Minnesota's National Center on Educational Outcomes, which provides national leadership in designing and building education assessments and other school reform initiatives that contribute to improved educational outcomes for all students; the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Early Childhood Outcomes Center and the University of Oregon's Post-School Outcomes Center, which are developing rigorous systems for assessing and measuring outcomes for, respectively, young children and youths with disabilities; and the University of Kentucky's National Alternate Assessment Center, which gathers and disseminates information on high-quality, technically sound alternate assessments.
The 2004 amendments to IDEA also allow states and localities to employ a response to intervention (RTI) framework and consider a student's response to scientific, research-based interventions when identifying students with specific learning disabilities. The IDEA-supported National Center on RTI at the American Institutes for Research defines RTI as an instructional framework that integrates assessment and intervention within a multilevel prevention system to maximize student achievement and reduce behavior problems. (See sidebar: Four Essential Components of Response to Intervention). With RTI, schools identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes, monitor student progress, provide evidence-based interventions and adjust the intensity and nature of those interventions depending on a student's responsiveness, and identify students with learning disabilities. RTI can be used to positively impact the achievement of all students, especially struggling learners.
Finally, the 2004 amendments to IDEA have continued the long-standing federal commitment to provide an adequate supply of qualified teachers. Thousands of professionals specializing in early childhood and special education have been trained with IDEA support. These professionals include early intervention staff, classroom teachers, therapists, counselors, psychologists, program administrators, and other professionals who will work with future generations of children with disabilities and their families.
IDEA currently supports centers and projects that demonstrate how states and localities can successfully meet challenges to staff recruitment and retention. For example, the University of North Carolina's National Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center has helped build national commitment and capacity for hiring qualified early intervention staff and providing family-centered, community-based, coordinated interagency services for young children with disabilities and their families across the country. Vanderbilt University's IDEA and Research for Inclusive Settings (IRIS) Center for Training Enhancement creates free course enhancement materials for college faculty who are preparing the next generation of general education teachers, school leadership personnel, school counselors, and school nurses. IRIS course enhancement materials are designed to equip these school personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively teach children and youths with disabilities in inclusive school settings.
Additionally, IDEA is providing support for State Personnel Development Grants that are helping individual states develop effective strategies for improving practice and making progress toward measurable and rigorous targets for student performance. These federal investments are complementing and extending similar state and local investments in school reform and improvement. Thus, federal, state, and local agencies are partnering together to support the widespread use of scientifically based practices in individual schools and classrooms across the country.
Access to education is the civil rights issue of our time, and so it is appropriate that we celebrate the anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act this year. In adopting this landmark legislation, Congress opened public school doors for millions of children with disabilities and laid the foundation of the country's commitment to ensuring that children with disabilities have opportunities to develop their talents, share their gifts, and contribute to their communities.
In the past 35 years, classrooms have become more inclusive and the futures of children with disabilities brighter. Significant progress has been made toward protecting the rights of, meeting the individual needs of, and improving educational results for infants, toddlers, children, and youths with disabilities.
Since 1975, policies and practices that meaningfully include students with disabilities in general education classrooms and accountability systems have proliferated. Today, 57 percent of students with disabilities are in general education classrooms for 80 percent or more of their school day. Early intervention services are now provided to nearly 350,000 infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families, and more than 6.6 million children and youths receive special education and related services designed to meet their individual needs. While tremendous progress has been made over the years, we must continue the hard work and address the challenges that still exist.
In light of these accomplishments, it is necessary to broaden the commitment and responsibility for providing appropriate educational opportunities for all children. Children with disabilities must be regarded as general education students first. IDEA legislation should complement, support, and expand on the ESEA provisions that address the education of all children and not be viewed in isolation or as the sole legislative provision supporting children with disabilities.

My twin pregnancy was a long and arduous journey, and tested all of my physical and mental limits. It was with some relief that I noted my mucus plug at week 35, on a Monday; I was a little bit nervous at how 'early' this sign of impending labour was for the babies' sake, but I trusted my body and knew the babies would come when they were ready. I also knew it could still be days or weeks, so I didn't let my hopes get too high.
When I woke on the Friday morning at 35w4d, I was trying to heave myself out of bed to tend to my son when I felt a small pop, and some water splashed to the floor. Again I was excited but not convinced labour was imminent.... After all, when my waters had 'broken' in my first pregnancy, nothing had happened for a week. I called my husband Stuart and midwife Jane to let them know what was happening and that I'd keep them posted.
I lost a lot of water throughout the course of the day, but was still experiencing no contractions by afternoon. We decided to go to the hospital to check in on the babies via CTG. Before we left, I'd been relaxing on the couch when my son came to me, climbed up on my belly and fell asleep. He hadn't fallen asleep on me in the longest time, and it was beautiful... I wondered if he was perceiving a change coming. I relished every moment of the last time it would be just the two of us.
The drive to the hospital was awful.... It was a scorcher in Sydney at 48 degrees, and difficult to breathe even for the non-pregnant! We arrived at the hospital, checked in and set ourselves up. The belts were awfully uncomfortable around my distended, itching belly, even for a few minutes, which only reinforced my resolve to refuse CFM in labour.
Andrew, our obstetrician, came by and we chatted about PROM and the good chance of going into labour, despite the notion I had in my head that it wasn't happening. He did notice a tightening when he felt my belt, but it was only barely uncomfortable for me, and I was able to sit through it. I'd been having these silent tightenings throughout the day but wrote them all off as Braxtons, as they weren't anywhere near as uncomfortable as my huge belly itself! I spent most of the evening at home giving myself clary sage massages, burning clary sage oil and breastfeeding my son to his heart's content (something I'd been avoiding for weeks due to the nipple pain and Braxton pain!).
Stuart and I sat down to have some dinner while our son fell asleep on the couch (it was so strange for him to fall asleep in the daytime twice in one day! Although, with the air conditioning running at full speed, it was still around 30 degrees inside the house!) We left Knox to sleep on the couch and headed to bed. Not long after Stuart fell asleep, I began to experience some tightenings, and noted that there had been about 4 within an hour. My son wandered in to our bed and snuggled in next to us. I texted Jane at around 10.30 to let her know that I was going to start timing them, and she advised I ignore them until they take my attention. At this point I realised it was on, as I knew they were definitely taking my attention!
I started timing the contractions at about half past 11. They were coming about 6-8 minutes apart and lasting around 45 seconds to a minute. I texted the midwife again at midnight after an extremely intense 2 minute contraction to let her know I was really needing to breathe through them now, and was laying on my side trying to rest. I was so exhausted I did manage to sleep between a few of them between 12 and 1am, waking up with the phone timer still going in my hand for the start of the next one.
The point soon came when I couldn't lay down anymore, so I decided to get into the shower for some heat relief at around 1am. The contractions had become very intense, very quickly I was moaning through the contractions in the hot shower and realised I should get to the hospital before the pain became any more intense. I woke up Stuart, called Jane and my mother in law, and started getting ready to go between contractions. I made poor Stuart pack just about everything bar the kitchen sink, expecting another long labour!; Blankets, oils, clothes, a million comfort items to set up my 'homebirth in hospital'.
MIL arrived to witness a strong contraction. They were coming fast now, super intense, long and strong. I went to the bedroom just before leaving to kiss my baby's cheek as he slept peacefully, excited that I would be bringing his siblings soon and bidding farewell to our time together alone.
I made it down the stairs just as another contraction started, which I walked through as Stuart started the car. I climbed into the front seat (the backseat of course being full of car seats!!), and knelt, absolutely unable to sit through the intense contractions. I'd never been so grateful for how close we lived to the hospital, because I experienced about 4 or 5 super intense contractions during the 5 minute drive. I was begging Stuart to keep a hand on me through them, despite his having to drive us there as quickly and safely as possible!
There was barely a break between contractions now, less than a minute, and I began to have one as I got out of the car, so the people in the hospital carpark got to hear the loud harmonies of my birth song. The front door was locked so the staff had to buzz us in. The staff, hearing the noises I was making, mentioned she would get a wheelchair, as 'babies had been born in the foyer before'! I didn't think I could sit in a wheelchair but I couldn't walk anymore either, so thankfully the wheelchair was wide enough that I could sit on my hip and not directly down.
It was quite nice to be 'alone' in approaching the birth unit - at least I was not aware of any other people around, the usual chaos of hospital life was quiet at this small hour.
It was a sweet relief to see Jane's face as we wheeled into the birth unit, and I was very happy that we'd checked in earlier for the trace so I could go directly to the birth room. I was also happy we were heading to room 12 which I'd visited a few weeks earlier, as I knew it had a nice pool which I was intending to birth in.
I launched out of the chair and directly into the bathroom, and after trying the shower for pain relief decided to get the bath going straight away. I used the toilet (and had to reassure my midwife it was not baby!) before getting into the bath as it filled. I lay a towel over the plug, thinking that if anyone wanted to get me out of the bath I was going to make them work for it, and also to try and get a bit of grip, as the hospital baths are very large.
The water was just reaching my belly as i climbed onto all fours.I started out with hot water but soon realised I couldn't bear the heat, so I cooled it right down.
As the bath filled, my contractions continued powerfully, and I looked to Jane for comfort. I asked Stuart to get into the bath, and as soon as I felt his strong body behind me I felt like I could birth with him to press against. The very next one I felt was a pushing contraction, a long contraction ending in an enormous grunting primal groan, as though the entire inside of my body was trying to come out. I pushed into Stuart, and he pushed back. I could feel the baby moving right down, preparing to come, so powerfully. I felt my perineum, which felt strong and stretched, and this gave me confidence. I was grateful to be in the water to be able to feel myself so easily.
I told Jane I was pushy, but I imagine it was obvious from the sound of my contractions. Once again the deep, overwhelming, powerful pushing urge took over my whole body, and with some choice words ringing around the room I pushed Jude out of my body and felt Jane lift him to my chest. I held him as close as our umbilical cord would allow as the hospital midwife placed a blanket over him to help keep him warm. I thought I'd heard Jane refer to him as 'she', but a quick lift of his tiny leg revealed my first son was born.
My joy and relief were interspersed with disbelief that I would have to do it all again, very soon. It was so wonderful to have my newborn son in my arms and some reprieve from the contractions, and I had no idea what to expect for the second birth. I did have to leave the bath unfortunately, as it was too cool for Jude, so we cut the cord once it had stopped pulsing and moved to the bed.
My second midwife Robyn and Andrew arrived at this point. Andrew kept quietly and observantly beside the bed out of my eyeline, and only spoke to congratulate us on the first birth. Robyn's sweet and calming presence was wonderful and helpful as the contractions began to kick in once more at full speed; I would really need the strength of both my midwives to face the challenge a second time.
I was needing to vocalise loudly to cope with the contractions and felt awful moaning into my sweet new baby's face, so I handed him to Stuart, reluctantly as I felt I needed him for the new round of contractions, but our baby needed him more. I told the midwives I was scared and didn't want to do it again, and they calmly and sweetly reminded me that not only could I do it again, I was doing it again.
We knew that baby 2 was in a breech position, so Andrew asked if he could examine me. I was initially reluctant but eager to make the birth as smooth as possible for the baby and myself, so I decided to go ahead, and thankfully he was as gentle as possible given the ferocity of my contractions.
He established almost instantly that the baby was coming foot first, as the bag of waters was low in my vagina. The contractions were roaring through me and the baby was experiencing increasing decelerations between. Andrew mentioned that if he were to break the waters, the baby would probably come in the next contraction, so after some quick consultation with my midwives and another couple of contractions I decided that would be very nice indeed, and most likely in the baby's best interest, given he had already experienced his brother's birth and was a footling breech.
Andrew broke my waters and grasped baby's foot and I pushed his body down to the neck in the one contraction. Jane told me it was important now to push his whole body out even without a contraction, so I gathered my energy and strength for the last push and birthed Jesse. He was placed up onto my chest, his cord a little shorter than his brothers, but I managed to peek under his leg and confirm that we had another boy. We left his cord to stop pulsing before cutting it.
Both boys took turns being fed and warmed under the heaters in dad's arms, and they weighed in at 2.6 and 2.7kg each. Exhausted beyond belief, I chose to expedite my 3rd stage with a syntocinon injection as I was bleeding quite profusely. The injection was surprisingly painful but the huge fused placentae came without much fuss.
I was beyond relieved to be at the end of this part of the journey, and utterly blesses with two gorgeous, healthy boys.

For the first time in Google's and Super Bowl history, Google ran a commercial during the 3rd quarter of Super Bowl XLIV (44). The ad focused on how easy it was to search and showed users on how easy it was to find things in Paris, France.
Though the ad was definitely perplexing as it was Super Bowl, it definitely was cute and showed how easy it was to find things using Google, and focused on search, maps, dictionary and Wikipedia.
If you haven't been able to watch the ad during the Super Bowl, you can watch it over again by viewing the embedded video below.
What do you think of the Google Super Bowl ad? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Do let me know through your comments. Don't forget to watch the rest of the Super Bowl commercials, don't know how? Check out our earlier post on where to watch the Super Bowl 2010 commercials online.

We hiked up to Vaipo Falls - the tallest waterfall in French Polynesia - located in Nuku Hiva of the Marquesas. We started from our boat anchored in Daniel's Bay by taking our dinghy up the river nearby. Then we walked up through the village and up a trail about 3 miles. This photo is the meadow, surrounded by cliffs, just before the water fall. The water fall was mostly dry due to drought conditions, but still beautiful!
Thousands of kilometres from anywhere, French Polynesia is the place to indulge yourself. Tahiti evokes images of tropical fruit dripping from strange trees... of translucent, shimmering aqua lagoons... of sun-drenched, sandy beaches, and psychedelic coral. A visit to Tahiti and her islands is akin to stumbling upon a parallel universe where fantasy is just another form of reality and hedonistic daydreams come to life. French Polynesia has captivated the world's imagination since 19th-century European explorers first set foot upon her steamy shores."

A truly ground breaking procedure took place here at Emory this weekend. Transplant surgeons at Emory University Hospital have successfully completed the program's first hand transplant. Not only is the complete hand transplant a first for Emory, but also the first hand transplant in the Southeast and only the 14th such procedure in the country. Emory transplant specialists performed this rare complete hand transplant procedure for a 21-year-old student out of Florida whose arm was amputated at the age of 1 due to Kawasaki Disease.
The hand transplant surgery lasted for 19 hours on Saturday, March 12 and involved a true multidisciplinary effort, including two teams (one dedicated to the patient and one to the donor arm) of transplant surgeons, specialists, nurses, and support staff. Since completion of the hand transplant, the patient has begun rehabilitation at Emory and will continue to rehabilitate in Atlanta for the next several months. As an IT major, when asked how the transplant would impact her life, her face lit up as she said, "I just want to be able to type."
Emory's Hand Transplant Program, established in 2007, is led by Dr. Linda Cendales, the only person in the United States with formal training in both hand and transplant surgery. Cendales is responsible for organizing the team that performed the first hand transplant in the U.S. and joined the Emory team from a program in Louisville that conducted 6 of the hand transplantations performed in the U.S.
If you have questions on the procedure or Emory's Hand Transplant Program, please leave them in the comments section below.

The intensity of Elvis Presley's love and devotion for gospel music is revealed in this documentary. Narrated by veteran newscaster Sander Vanocur, Presley's story is told with vintage photos, interviews and video footage, including some never-before-available scenes of Elvis's impromptu offstage gospel performances. Many interviews reveal that Presley's unshakable commitment to gospel music was tested many times by producers and record label executives, who were later to be surprised when the Grammys overlooked Presley's No. 1 hits in favor of three of his best gospel performances.

Q: Do I need to watch the water levels in my pond during the winter?
Paul – Wixom, MI
A: Even when winter's chilly grip takes hold, your pond's water level will still fluctuate. It likely won't be as dramatic as summertime's evaporation rates, but you should definitely keep an eye on the amount of liquid stuff in your pond throughout the cold months.
Causes of Winter Water Loss
During the summer, the sun's warming rays heat the water in your pond and cause it to evaporate—and sometimes very quickly, depending on how warm the air and water temperatures get. But during the wintertime, water loss can be caused by:
- Dry air: Low humidity—which is when the air contains little water vapor—can increase evaporation rates as the dry air will absorb the moisture from your pond.
- Winds: Windy conditions can also escalate evaporation in your pond. A 5-mile-per-hour wind at your pond's surface, for instance, results in roughly three times the rate of evaporation on a still day.
- Ice expansion, formation: The liquid water will appear to dissipate in your pond as ice forms and expands.
A small amount of water level fluctuation is OK—but a few inches of water loss could leave your fish in ice, particularly if your pond isn't that deep to begin with!
Keep It Topped Off
To keep water levels steady (and your fish thawed and happy), you don't need to warm the water. Instead, you should plan to top off the pond when it dips more than an inch or two, just as you would during the spring and summer.
When you add water to your water garden, make sure it actually goes into the pond—not just on top of the ice. Feed the water through a hole in the ice using a garden hose or a thermostatically controlled hose such as the K&H™ PVC ThermoHose™, which prevents ice from forming in your faucet or hose. The unit's built-in heating elements turn on automatically when temperatures dip below freezing so you'll have liquid water coming out of your hose.
If you need to put a hole in the ice that's on your pond, remember to never bust through it with a drill, hammer or other blunt object as the subsurface vibrations could harm your fish. Fill a bucket with hot water and pour it on one area of the pond to melt open a hole, preferably near the edge.
Pond Talk: How often do you need to top off the water in your pond or water garden during the winter?

One of the biggest benefits to the Broad Fieldhouse is the nearly 6,000-foot weight room. The state-of-the-art facility features enough room for up to 50 student-athletes to train simultaneously and is three times larger than the previous location.
Completed in May of 2008, the weight room has 10 Olympic platforms, a large dumbbell area, and numerous machine weights to help strengthen student-athletes. The facility also has equipment used for rehabilitation purposes. The weight room is also air conditioned and features a high performance sound system.
The strength and conditioning program has the following goals: To be the best physically prepared team each game; To be the best mentally prepared team each game; Prepare for each contest by matching workout tempo to pace of a game, sometimes at no-huddle pace; Emphasis is on ground based exercises: applying maximum amount of force through the ground as fast as possible to move quicker, run faster, jump higher, be stronger, be more explosive; Decrease the chance of injury; To learn to compete under adversity; To be winners on and off the field as a team and individually.

A brief history of the Bunbury Court buildings is probably best described by Mr Owen Smith's tenure as Bunbury's clerk of courts for 16 years (commencing in 1972). During that period Mr Smith was clerk of courts in five separate court buildings in the Western block of Stephen Street, an area of about 100 metres.
On his arrival in 1972, the Court Administration and Magistrates Court was based in the old post office, which stood where the City of Bunbury administration building is today.
The post office was a magnificent building built in 1894 but was badly damaged in the Meckering earthquake 78 years later. While Magistrate Charlie Fisher dispensed justice and court staff toiled below, an ominous 15cm wide crack, a legacy of the earthquake, scarred the walls of the uninhabitable upper floors.
Across the street, the courthouse, whose foundation stone was laid by Premier Sir Newton-Moore in 1906, played host to the District Court on quarterly circuits. The Foundation stone is now located at the Newton-Moore High School in Bunbury.
When the old post office was marked for demolition, the court staff moved across the road to an even older building with links to the post office and courts.
Built in 1855, the limestone and shingle building remains the oldest building in the Bunbury CBD and is still in use today by the WA Police Service. The building was used as a courthouse and post office and also a bond store and police quarters before being used as an annexe to the 1907 building as a court administration building.
Tenants of the building came and went over the years including the post office, leaving in 1894 to move across the road, the Police Service using the building in different roles and the SES maintained its office there.
During this time, an enduring function has been as an annexe/administration office and courtroom to a succession of four successive courthouses.
Its role as a court finally ceased in 1984 upon completion of the current building.
Upon approval of a new court complex, the 1907 building was earmarked for demolition. For the interim period court staff moved yet again, across the road to conduct court in the old municipal council building built in 1935 and still in use as council chambers. From January 1983 while the registry remained in the old court building, two courtrooms were established in the old municipal building to ensure continued sittings of both magistrates and superior courts.
Finally in January 1985 Mr Smith took possession as clerk of courts of the current building when it was opened by the-then Premier, The Hon Brian Burke.
Mr Smith's courthouse hopping record is unlikely to be matched and is a tribute to his and his staff's flexibility and stamina.
Built at a cost of $6 million the current building has a jury court, a magistrates court and two smaller courts. It also contains a jury assembly area, practitioners lounge, detention area, a large registry and access to the Family Court conference area in the adjacent Government building.
In late 1994, a "repressed memory" trial was heard before the Supreme Court in Bunbury and lasted a little over seven weeks, at the time the longest trial of its type in WA. At the time, Bunbury conducted two criminal jury trials simultaneously, a first time for a court outside the metropolitan area.
Today the Bunbury Court has three resident magistrates.
The Supreme Court is listed to visit four times a year for a duration of two weeks each, while the District Court is listed for a total of 19 weeks.
In December 1999, video conferencing equipment valuing $400,000 was installed enabling communication by videolink with other sites throughout Australia as well as remote witness facilities for distressed/special witnesses. In 2018 the system was completely replaced with a state of the art system.

The hotel's 267 luxury rooms and suites celebrate The Savoy's dual historical influences, featuring either elegant English Edwardian design or sensational Art Deco style. Many afford breath-taking views across the River Thames, and of iconic London landmarks. Those staying in suites enjoy dedicated Butler service, offering the discretion of a traditional English butler with the efficiency of a 21st century personal assistant.
Fine dining has always been an integral part of The Savoy, since world-renowned chef Auguste Escoffier set an unprecedented standard in 1889. Today Kaspar's at The Savoy offers informal dining in a stylish Art Deco setting, whilst Gordon Ramsay's Savoy Grill presents a British grill menu with a French touch. Furthermore, Simpson's in the Strand remains steadfastly at the top of every Londoner's list for the best roast dinner and a sense of British tradition.
The beautiful Thames Foyer, truly the heart of the hotel, is where The Savoy serves London's finest traditional Afternoon Tea, a custom that remains a British institution.
For cocktail connoisseurs, The Savoy boasts the American Bar, the oldest surviving cocktail bar in London named World's Best Bar at World's 50 Best Bars 2017; and the award-winning Beaufort Bar, renowned for pushing the boundaries of mixology.
During your stay you can visit Savoy Tea for bespoke gifts and a unique range of teas and patisserie, watch our chocolatiers prepare the finest confectionary… or why not unwind in our Beauty & Fitness area? All guests have access to spa treatments, a private pool, and our 24-hour gym.

Knowledgebase: NE1™ Web Builder > NE1™ Website Configuration > FAQs
I have my email address for the administrator's email address, but I'd like the info from the contact form (or other forms/polls) to be emailed to someone else. Can I do that?
Posted by on 17 December 2010 01:21 PM
Yes, each one of the forms or polls, including the contact form, guestbook, prayer request, etc., have a setting that allows you to determine what email address the information is sent to. This means that you can not only have the forms sent to a different email address than the admin email address, but you can have different forms/polls sent to different addresses.
For Example: If you have a church site and you are the webmaster, the church secretary needs to record the info from the contact form, the youth director wants to have poll, and the Pastor is in charge of the blog, you can use your email address for the admin contact email, the secretary's email for the contact form, the youth minister's email for the poll, and Pastor's email address for the blog.

The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts maintains a Center for Faith & Culture in Oxford, including the editorial offices of theology journal Second Spring and Second Spring Catechesis.
The director and associate director, Stratford and Léonie Caldecott, are both graduates of Hertford College, Oxford, and Stratford is a G.K. Chesterton Fellow at St Benet's Hall, the Benedictine house at the University.
Oxford is an ideal setting for the recovery of the rich legacy of Catholic and Christian humanism, with its rich heritage including such figures as John Henry Newman, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Ronald Knox, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien, whose work—along with that of G.K. Chesterton—can be studied at the Center for Faith & Culture.
Oxford Studies Program
Thomas More College's Oxford Studies Program is a two-week course that delves into the lives and thoughts of G.K. Chesterton and other major Catholic thinkers such as John Henry Cardinal Newman, poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, and authors Hilaire Belloc and J.R.R. Tolkien. The program is designed to prepare participants for graduate school while helping them gain a deeper understanding of the role of the Catholic intellectual in today's world through a combination of seminar-style lectures, guided tours, discussions, and conversations inspired by these four great writers.
Students explore certain landmarks of England that are important to these thinkers and English history. Students see Cardinal Newman's colleges, the church where he preached as an Anglican, and the retreat center in Littlemore where he was received into the Catholic church in 1845. Furthermore, participants visit Tolkien's grave in Wolvercote, one of his houses, and the pub where he and other Inklings met. In addition, they tour The Kilns, the home of C.S. Lewis, where he and Tolkien would frequently meet.
The Chesterton Library
The Center is currently the custodian of the G.K. Chesterton Library which has been built up over many years by Mr Aidan Mackey. This is one of the world's foremost collections of Chestertoniana, and includes an important collection of drawings as well as books by and about Chesterton and related authors. Frequently consulted by scholars researching Chesterton and his influence, the collection can be visited by arrangement, and is in the process of being catalogued in order to make it more accessible to the academic community.
Second Spring: International Journal of Faith and Culture
Founded and edited by Stratford and Leonie Caldecott, Second Spring's mission is to explore and advance the mission of a Catholic intellectual in the context of contemporary culture. Published twice per year, Second Spring is substantive, thought-provoking, topical, and orthodox. It takes its bearings from leading Catholic theologians such as Pope Benedict XVI in his lifelong writings, as well as Catholic thinkers such as John Henry Cardinal Newman and G.K. Chesterton. Subjects regularly covered in Second Spring include the arts, sciences, technology, liturgy, new ecclesial movements, metaphysics, history, literature, poetry, and the world of books.

Google is rolling out a new PageRank update to websites as we speak. This is the second update of Google PageRank in this year. Google had also rolled out updates to PageRank in January 2011.
I have seeing a lot of webmasters tweeting about PageRank updates and most of them seems positive. Google has been making several changes to their search engine lately and have heavily penalized websites through Panda updates. We had written about mistakes you should avoid if you are trying to recover from Panda algorithm.
In addition to banning some big sites, the Panda update also managed to push scraper website on top of search results, however, those problems have reportedly been fixed with the new Panda 2.2 update.
Even though PageRank is not a very important in ranking sites in search engines, sites with higher PageRank are often trusted more. If you have been seeing some drastic traffic loss, a positive PageRank update could mean that Google still sees your site authoritative. However, you might want to avoid making simple mistakes and get penalized.
Did you see a PageRank update for your website? Feel free to share your rankings through your comments.

Several users have reported that withdrawals have resumed at Bitstamp, a popular Bitcoin exchange based in Slovenia, following the company's announcement earlier Friday that withdrawals would be enabled by the day's end.
The company had suspended withdrawals on Tuesday because of concerns about a bug in the exchange's software known as transaction malleability. The bug allows hackers to create false transaction data, eroding one of bitcoin's most touted characteristics -- that every transaction is unique and that, unlike other payment systems, the transfer of bitcoin was completely secure.
The site has yet to release any updates, and representatives of Bitstamp could not be reached for comment.
The price has risen above $700 from an opening price of $609 Friday. The price of a bitcoin on Mt. Gox had fallen to $300 recently.
Users on r/bitcoin and Cryptogeeks.com reported successful bitcoin withdrawals earlier today. Andreas Antonopoulos, chief security officer of Blockchain.info, announced in a Tweet that Bitstamp has resumed processing withdrawals.
Bitcoin's troubles began Monday when Mt. Gox, one of the first Bitcoin exchanges, announced that it had identified the software malleability bug.
While the software used by bitcoin exchanges includes some vulnerabilities, the core bitcoin software has not been affected by the recent attacks, according to Jeff Garzik, one of bitcoin's core developers. Withdrawals of bitcoin from the major exchanges have been disabled, though users have still been able to trade bitcoins person-to-person.
Bitstamp could not be reached for comment, and no official announcement of the resumption in withdrawals has been released by the company.
Mt. Gox, Bitstamp and BTC-E, an exchange based in Bulgaria, suspended withdrawals this week because of attacks by hackers. It is unclear when Mt. Gox and BTC-E will re-enable bitcoin withdrawals.
Some critics of the cryptocurrency interpreted the recent rash of security troubles as a sign of an impending crash.
