We would like to say goodbye to Dr. Burnley (the D#11 Superintendent), Mr. Engelen (the principal at Palmer), and Frau Doktor Malloy (the IB German teacher). These three have all decided not renew contracts with D#11 for the 2000-2001 school year. Burnley has agreed to take a position with another school district. Engelen's fame from the Prinicipal of the Year award has made several lucrative offers available to him. Bye bye!

Front page, the Gazette, May 10
An unamed 17 year old was charged Tuesdat with computer crime and criminal mischief. Apparently, he replaced the text on the Colorado Springs website with "i love this city ytcracker 9d9 palmer high." in October. This kid dropped out of school because he was "too bored." Obviously, he was not in IB. After the October stunt, police started looking for "ytcracker" (his screen name) and discovered that he has tampered with at least 40 other websites, including Airspace USA, Altamira International Bank, Nissan, Honda, the US Geological Survey Monitoring Station, and the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Who here has seen the movie "Hackers"? I love that movie!
Since we do not need anymore grief, we are not going to show support for or against ytcracker, but if anyone finds out who this mystery man is, let us know.
NEW MEXICO FIRES
Everybody's heard about these by now so I'm not going itno the gruesome details. However I have a question to put to you. As these fires were deliberatly set by firefighters, and are now holding the ecord for the biggest fire ever in the Southwest, do thoses firefighters deserve a Darwin Award? Some have did in fighting this fire (NOTE: a Darwin Award goes to a really stupid person who has helped to clean out the gene pool by getting themselves killed in unique and interesting ways).

a little birdie whispered in my ear that ytcracker's real first name is Bryce |
