Bart Gets an F
A band plays. Diamond Joe Quimby speaks.
I hereby declare this day to be Snow Day, the funnest day in the history of Springfield!
-- Diamond Joe Quimby, ``Bart Gets an F''
People hold hands and sing carols.
Bart peels his face away from the window and goes into the basement. He reads about the First Continental Congress. Bart envisions himself seated among the delegates.
Th. Jefferson: We hold these truths to be self-evident...
Bart: [to himself] We hold these truths to be self-evident... We hold these truths to be self-evident...
Th. Jefferson: That all men are created equal.
Bart: [to himself] That all men are created equal...
Th. Jefferson: And from that equal creation they derive rights inherent and inalienable...
Delegate: [glances out the window, points]
Hey, look, everybody! It's snowing!
Delegate: In the middle of July?
Al. Hamilton: It's a miracle!
Ben Franklin: [comes in, shakes snow off his wig] Fellas, I've invented something fun! The sled! [all the delegates (except Bart) rush outside to play]
Delegate: [o.s.] Hey, look everybody! John Hancock's writing his name in the snow!
-- Trying to study during a snow day, ``Bart Gets an F''
Bart shuts the textbook in horror. He stares at his chewed pencil.
You wanna be held back a grade? Concentrate, man!
-- Bart, slapping himself, trying to study, ``Bart Gets an F''
Through the cellar window, the rest of the family watch Bart slap himself.
(*slap*) Bart slaps himself in class after the exam is over. Martin calmly turns in his test, dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and wearing shades. Bart answers the final few questions as Ms. Krabappel asks him to turn in his exam. She pulls out `Old Red' and grades the exam as Bart watches sadly, cringing at every X-mark. Bart got a 59, another F. Bart can't believe it. Neither can Ms. Krabappel. ``Another year together. Ugh, it's going to be hell.'' Bart stares at his exam and cries. Ms. Krabappel doesn't understand, ``I figure you'd be used to failing by now.'' Bart explains that he really tried this time, but it was no use. Ms. Krabappel tries to reassure him, ``Well, a 59 is a

PINK FLOYD LYRICS
"Wish You Were Here"
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

"Shine On You Crazy Diamond (VI-IX)"
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine

USS Indianapolis (CA-35)
At the Headquarters of Commander Marianas on Guam and of the Commander Philippine Sea Frontier on Leyte, operations plotting boards were kept. On these boards was kept a graphic plot of the positions at sea of all vessels in which the headquarters concerned was interested. In the case of Indianapolis, the departure of the vessel from Guam on 28 July was recorded on the plotting boards in each of these headquarters. Her estimated position was plotted on each board daily. On 31 July, the date on which the vessel was scheduled to have arrived at Leyte, Indianapolis was removed from the board in the headquarters of Commander Marianas and was recorded on the board at the headquarters of Commander Philippine Sea Frontier as having arrived at Leyte. This was the routine method of handling the plot of combatant vessels. Since, in accordance with orders standard throughout the Southwest Pacific Area, the Pacific Ocean Areas, and the Atlantic, the arrival of combatant vessels was not reported, vessels of this class were assumed to have arrived at their destinations on the date and at approximately the time scheduled in the absence of information to the contrary. Lieutenant Stuart B. Gibson, the Operations Officer under the Port Director, Tacloban, was the officer who was immediately concerned with the movements of Indianapolis. The non-arrival of that vessel on schedule was known at once to Lieutenant Gibson who not only failed to investigate the matter but made no immediate report of the fact to his superiors.
While Indianapolis sent distress calls before sinking, the Navy long claimed that they were never received because the ship was operating under a policy of radio silence. Declassified records show that three SOS messages were received separately, but none was acted upon because one commander was drunk, another had ordered his men not to disturb him and a third thought it was a Japanese prank.

The Survivors Organization would like to express genuine gratitude to those in Congress who helped in the passage of this legislation with special thanks to Senator Bob Smith (R-NH) and Representatives Joe Scarborough (R-FL) and Neil Abercrombie (D-HA). Special thanks also should be extended to young Hunter Scott, of Pensacola, Florida, who, beginning at the age of eleven, renewed interest in and campaigned steadfastly to correct this injustice.
This section is dedicated to the story of how Hunter Scott revived the effort to clear Captain McVay's name over 50 years after his court-marital and how he joined with survivors of the Indianapolis and many of their supporters in getting legislation through the Congress.
First, however, it should be emphasized that passage of the legislation did not clear the conviction from Captain McVay's record. As noted in the Introduction, Congress has rules against even considering bills which alter military records.
It also led to a 1997 promise from Representative Scarborough that he would introduce legislation in 1998, and plans were made for Hunter and a group of survivors to travel to Washington to support Scarborough's Bill.
In April of 1998 fifteen survivors and Hunter Scott arrived in Washington and met with members of both House and Senate, urging support for Representative Scarborough's bill (H.R. 3610) which urged a presidential pardon for Captain McVay. Unwittingly, it did not take into consideration the fact that Captain McVay had, in effect, already been pardoned in 1946 when Admiral Nimitz remitted his sentence and restored him to duty.
Thus, when a new Congress convened in 1999, Representative Scarborough introduced a joint resolution (H.J. Res. 48) which, among other things, expressed the sense of Congress that Captain McVay's court-martial was morally unsustainable and that his conviction was a miscarriage of justice. Once again in April of 1999 Hunter Scott and fourteen Indianapolis survivors traveled to Washington to meet with key members of Congress in support of the Scarborough resolution.
On this visit they persuaded Senator Bob Smith of New Hampshire to introduce an identical companion measure in the Senate (S.J. Res. 23), and over the ensuing months over 100 House members joined as co-sponsors of the Scarborough resolution and sixteen senators as co-sponsors of the Smith resolution.
A major breakthrough occurred when Senator Smith persuaded Senator John Warner (R-VA), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, to hold a hearing on his joint resolution. The hearing was held on September 14, 1999.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motive_(law)
Motive (law)
In law, especially criminal law, a motive is the cause that moves people to induce a certain action. Motive in itself is seldom an element of any given crime; however, the legal system typically allows motive to be proven in order to make plausible the accused's reasons for committing a crime, at least when those motives may be obscure or hard to identify with.
The law technically distinguishes between motive and intent. "Intent" in criminal law is synonymous with mens rea, which means no more than the specific mental purpose to perform a deed that is forbidden by a criminal statute, or the reckless disregard of whether the law will be violated.[citation needed] "Motive" describes instead the reasons in the accused's background and station in life that are supposed to have induced the crime.
Motive is particularly important in prosecutions for homicide. First, murder is so drastic a crime that most people recoil from the thought of being able to do it; proof of motive explains why the accused did so desperate an act.

U.S. ATTACKED; HIJACKED JETS DESTROY TWIN TOWERS AND HIT PENTAGON IN DAY OF TERROR
By N. R. KLEINFIELD
Published: September 12, 2001
It kept getting worse.
The horror arrived in episodic bursts of chilling disbelief, signified first by trembling floors, sharp eruptions, cracked windows. There was the actual unfathomable realization of a gaping, flaming hole in first one of the tall towers, and then the same thing all over again in its twin. There was the merciless sight of bodies helplessly tumbling out, some of them in flames.
Finally, the mighty towers themselves were reduced to nothing. Dense plumes of smoke raced through the downtown avenues, coursing between the buildings, shaped like tornadoes on their sides.
Every sound was cause for alarm. A plane appeared overhead. Was another one coming? No, it was a fighter jet. But was it friend or enemy? People scrambled for their lives, but they didn't know where to go. Should they go north, south, east, west? Stay outside, go indoors? People hid beneath cars and each other. Some contemplated jumping into the river.
For those trying to flee the very epicenter of the collapsing World Trade Center towers, the most horrid thought of all finally dawned on them: nowhere was safe.

The Survivors Organization would like to express genuine gratitude to those in Congress who helped in the passage of this legislation with special thanks to Senator Bob Smith (R-NH) and Representatives Joe Scarborough (R-FL) and Neil Abercrombie (D-HA). Special thanks also should be extended to young Hunter Scott, of Pensacola, Florida, who, beginning at the age of eleven, renewed interest in and campaigned steadfastly to correct this injustice.
This section is dedicated to the story of how Hunter Scott revived the effort to clear Captain McVay's name over 50 years after his court-marital and how he joined with survivors of the Indianapolis and many of their supporters in getting legislation through the Congress.
First, however, it should be emphasized that passage of the legislation did not clear the conviction from Captain McVay's record. As noted in the Introduction, Congress has rules against even considering bills which alter military records.
It also led to a 1997 promise from Representative Scarborough that he would introduce legislation in 1998, and plans were made for Hunter and a group of survivors to travel to Washington to support Scarborough's Bill.
In April of 1998 fifteen survivors and Hunter Scott arrived in Washington and met with members of both House and Senate, urging support for Representative Scarborough's bill (H.R. 3610) which urged a presidential pardon for Captain McVay. Unwittingly, it did not take into consideration the fact that Captain McVay had, in effect, already been pardoned in 1946 when Admiral Nimitz remitted his sentence and restored him to duty.
Thus, when a new Congress convened in 1999, Representative Scarborough introduced a joint resolution (H.J. Res. 48) which, among other things, expressed the sense of Congress that Captain McVay's court-martial was morally unsustainable and that his conviction was a miscarriage of justice. Once again in April of 1999 Hunter Scott and fourteen Indianapolis survivors traveled to Washington to meet with key members of Congress in support of the Scarborough resolution.
On this visit they persuaded Senator Bob Smith of New Hampshire to introduce an identical companion measure in the Senate (S.J. Res. 23), and over the ensuing months over 100 House members joined as co-sponsors of the Scarborough resolution and sixteen senators as co-sponsors of the Smith resolution.
A major breakthrough occurred when Senator Smith persuaded Senator John Warner (R-VA), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, to hold a hearing on his joint resolution. The hearing was held on September 14, 1999.

Memorable quotes for
Jaws (1975)
Hooper: You were on the Indianapolis?
Brody: What happened?
Quint: Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte... just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of Waterloo" and the idea was: shark comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up, down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon, the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us... he was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened... waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water; 316 men come out and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

PINK FLOYD LYRICS
"Wish You Were Here"
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
