4/1/04	Some people are saying that they cannot access the Schedule. You need Adobe Acrobat to read the Schedule because it is in .PDF format. If it still does not work, there is one more option. Try "right-clicking" on the Schedule button above. Then in the menu that pops up hit "Save Target As" and pick a location to save the file. After the download is complete go into Acrobat and open the file from the location you saved it in. This should work, but if it does not, reply to the "Submit news and updates" above to let me know.
