CNHI News Service
PRAIRIE CREEK, Ind. — An Indiana highway worker inspecting flood damage to a Wabash River levy recently discovered the 17-pound bone of a mastodon, the extinct elephant-like mammal that roamed the area more than 12,000 years ago.
Bob James, a supervisor with the Vigo County Highway Department, said at first he thought it was a piece of driftwood, but a closer look revealed it was a large bone. He said he hopes it will eventually be put on display at the Children's Museum in nearby Terre Haute, Ind.
Ron Richards, curator of paleobiology at the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis, confirmed it was the upper leg bone of a mastodon, measuring 24 inches long and 26 inches around at its top joint.
Richards said mastodons were abundant in Central and North America, including Indiana, for thousands of years before they vanished at the end of the ice age 12,000 years ago. They looked similar to the wooly mammoth "Manny" in the animated kids movie, "Ice Age."
"Of the ice age animals, it is the one that's most commonly discovered," said Richards.
Paleontologists describe the typical mastodon as 15-feet long, with shoulders 10 feet above the ground. The species featured long, curled elephant-like tusks. Experts believe a major factor in their extinction was the rapid climate change associated with the end of the ice age.
Richards said the find of a mastodon bone near this western Indiana village does not signal that other bones from the same creature are buried in the area. He said the currents of the Wabash River almost certainly scattered the bones about.
"It's probably just an isolated bone," he said. "The big rivers really move things a long way."
Details for this story were provided by the Terre Haute, Ind., Tribune-Star.

rear tires
can you put a wider tire on cub lowboy,than 8.3x 24? without a lot of work.
Re: rear tires
Depending on your rim width, you should be able to mount a 9.5 x 24 without any problem. To go much larger than that, I think you'll need a larger rim.

There are a giant set of tires for sale up this way. Off a numbered Lo Boy, but will fit a Cub. Look like swamp boggers to me.

Re: rear tires
Keep in mind that as the tire gets wider it also gets taller. If you go bigger than a 9.5x24, you will start having problems with ground speed and power. The tractor will go too fast for most jobs and will not have enough power to turn the larger tires.
The numbered Cub Loboys, 154, 185, 184, have a wide turf tire on a 16.1" rim that is about the same diameter as an 8.3x24. These will bolt right on a regular Cub.
If you want to keep the "tractor tires" but go wider, adding dual wheels is a better option.
Re: rear tires
I guess the main thing to ask is, what are you trying to accomplish. If you are just using it to work then stay in the 8.3 to 9.5 range. If you want it for looks but not a lot of functionality you can go with what the other guys said.
Here is one I bought that had big tires. One was shot so I replaced them with narrow tires.
Here is my dually, I only use it to pull the spreader or run the hammer mill.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: rear tires
I think if you need the duals to run the hammer mill you're doing something wrong .
Re: rear tires
Yeah, I guess that pretty much proves duals aren't needed for 99.9% of the Cub's use. But is is a good place to store those spare tires laying around the barn.

Re: rear tires
Yea, we really need to know what you're trying to accomplish. If you are trying to increase traction, going wider is not the way to do it. Wider tires just spread out the weight on more surface contact area and will actually decrease your traction. Narrow tires will have much more traction, but will also sink into the ground due to less surface contact area and higher pressure on the ground.
In my area, I almost have to have high floatation (wide) tires to even get into my lawn in the early spring. Due to the snow melt and high clay content in our soil, my lawn is like a swamp. There is no way I can take the Cub out in the lawn in the spring time, but I have another tractor that is 4x4 with very wide turf tires, so I can go just about anywhere with it.

Re: rear tires
thank you.I have original ag tires now,ready to go.my yard is all slight hill.have plow which I use in winter,live on private lane with long driveway.have 5' belly mower,just turfs yard cant use.1" to 2" fall to a foot sloping both directions.thinking of turf or wider ag tire maybe I could give my belly mower another try.I do like those monster tires,never though of power loss.always something you over look.your very helpful,thank you Darrell akron ohio.
Re: rear tires
I just read about the newer lowboy cub 16.1" rim.If that bolts on that probably the way to go.genious thanks .darrell
Re: rear tires
Those big turf tires will work nice for mowing, however, you will have traction problems especially on hills. I know I used to mow my grandfather's place with a 184 lo-boy, and if the grass was wet, you'd go sliding! In the spring time we didn't even bother trying to mow the hill at his place.
However, if you're rutting up your yard, those are the tires to use, and yes, they will bolt right up to your existing hubs.
On the other hand, it sounds to me like you need traction for both plowing snow and mowing on side slopes. These big turf tires are REALLY going to hurt you. If you're not rutting up the yard, but you're still sliding around when mowing on the slopes, then you need to add wheel weights and keep the AG style tires! You definitely need wheel weights for plowing snow.

Re: rear tires
I've mowed on hilly terrain with them and never slipped. Never cut on wet grass and that is probably why I never had any issues.
Re: rear tires
I am planning on dual wheels on my rock farm Cub because of the hills/slopes that I mow. But that is a one of these days deal. Of all the Cubs I have or have owned, no two pair are 'matched'.... but I am looking and will find some or trade some one day.
You have pretty much hit on the only advantage of a Cub Lo Boy. They are low to the ground and with the wheels rotated forward they have more weight on the rear wheels, which is an advantage for snow plowing. I never appreciated how different a Cub and a Lo Boy were until I was mowing a slope with a Cub just after having mowed with the Lo Boy... the Cub scared me
You could also gain some stability by setting the rear wheel centers dished out (see operator's manual). With a snow plow they will 'overhang' the width of the blade.

A temporary boost to the supplemental nutrition assistance program, known as SNAP, is ending. It's an across the board cut, totaling about $5 billion for 2014. Reductions begin Friday.
Hunger assistance program directors say this is a catastrophe. They say every dollar taken away affects children, seniors and people with disabilities.
Here in Illinois, a family of four that qualifies for the maximum benefits of $632 a month will get $36 less. It may not sound like a lot to some, but for low income individuals, it means cutting back significantly and stretching their groceries as much as possible.
Lazaro Suarez says he and his 5-year-old daughter have been barely making it with $140 a month on food stamps. Now, the part-time construction worker has to figure out how to stretch his benefits even more.
Like many, Suarez just learned of the cuts on Thursday, thanks to Diane Doherty of the Illinois Hunger Coalition who passed out fliers outside Department of Human Services Offices.
Participants were receiving an average of $1.50 per meal. The cuts will bring that down to $1.40.
U.S. Department of Agriculture data shows that 47 million Americans - 22 million of them children - will be affected.
Directors of the Emergency Food Networks in Chicago say those modest benefits were crucial to struggling families.
Suarez says he may have to start turning to food pantries for assistance. But according to Doherty, food pantries around Chicago and the country are already overwhelmed and this will only add to the strain.
SNAP costs the federal government about $80 billion a year. In 2009, congress passed a law to reverse a temporary increase in benefits as a part of an economic stimulus package.
More cuts could be on the way to food stamp or SNAP benefits. The senate approved legislation in June that would include $4.5 billion in cuts, while the house passed a bill last month that would cut $40 billion to the program over 10 years.

OK Einsteins, you are both right although a guy in the booth and two professional commentators all concurred on what actually happened.
Both players made sure the ball went forward, and that is not allowed.
The fumbles could go either way and are a judgement call. Sometimes you get those calls, sometimes you don't. The flag *after* the replay review is astonishing to me and something I did not know was even possible. Made a difference in the game as I think the field goal would have been good from the distance before the penalty was marched off.

A couple of weeks ago, Red Sox manager Grady Little seemed almost perplexed that Jason Varitek making the All-Star Game was even an issue of debate.
"He's my All-Star," Little said. "I looked down the list (for catchers) and that was the only name I could think of to vote for. I think anyone that is watching games they would see the value of this guy. Anybody. Anybody that considers themselves knowing the game."
Varitek became a first-time All-Star by receiving 3,210,509 online votes in the etopps All-Star Final Vote, sealing his selection to the American League All-Star Team for the 74th Midsummer Classic next Tuesday in Chicago's U.S. Cellular Field. Milwaukee outfielder Geoff Jenkins was the National League selection.
There can no longer be any doubt how passionate Red Sox fans are about making sure their players don't get snubbed. In last year's inaugural fan Internet voting for the final All-Star spot, Red Sox center fielder Johnny Damon was the winner.
This time it was Varitek's turn to be the people's choice, winning the vote, which took place exclusively on MLB.com and ESPN.com.
Varitek received the good news roughly an hour before the Red Sox played the Blue Jays at SkyDome Wednesday night.
"It's a great honor. I have a lot of people to thank," Varitek said. "My family and friends and I thank the fans in Boston. They're the ones
(who) made this happen."
Most impressive about Varitek's victory is that he beat out two established stars in Jason Giambi and Frank Thomas. Eric Byrnes and Bengie Molina rounded out the five-man ballot.
Always highly regarded for his defensive skills, leadership and preparation, Varitek has busted out offensively this year, giving his All-Star candidacy the final push it lacked in past years.
Hitting mainly in the No. 9 spot in the loaded Red Sox lineup, Varitek has a .300 average with 15 homers and 54 RBIs.
Much of his production has come in clutch situations, with his pivotal two-run double in the eighth inning Wednesday night serving as the most recent example. That hit helped bring the Sox all the way back from a 7-3 deficit en route to an 8-7 victory.
Varitek arguably has the most superior numbers of any catcher in the American League, which made his late selection all the more deserving.
"Jason's outstanding," Little said. "He just does the job day in and
day out and to be able to get picked on the All-Star team like
that couldn't have happened to somebody more deserving."
When Varitek was asked what has been most meaningful for him about this first half, his response typified his unselfish nature.
"The biggest thing has been developing this pitching staff," Varitek said. "We've come a long way. We've had a lot of things to deal with and we just continue to get better and we've made adjustments. Derek (Lowe) has gone from struggling to doing well. We lost (Pedro Martinez) for a while and we're still in it. There's a lot of things to be proud of for this team. This team is getting better."
Even before they put him over the top in the final vote, Varitek was thankful for the support he received from fans.
"Fan support means everything," Varitek said. "Our fans are what probably let me even have an opportunity. They all pushed late for me from what I was told by friends and family, so I thank them. Let's go out and try and give them what they want, and that's for the team to win. If we can do that, it will all take care of itself."
Varitek will join Nomar Garciaparra and Manny Ramirez as Red Sox representatives at the All-Star Game.

Prior to Procedure
Since broken bones are usually caused by
or an accident, an ORIF surgery is typically an emergency procedure. Before your surgery, you may have:
- Physical exam—to check your blood circulation and nerves affected by the broken bone
- X-ray, CT scan, or MRI scan—imaging tests that take pictures of your broken bone and surrounding areas
- Blood tests
- Tetanus shot—depending on the type of fracture and if your immunization is not current
- Questions your doctor may ask include: How did you break your bone? How much pain do you feel? Do you take any blood-thinning medication?
- Questions you should ask include: Will I need rehabilitation after surgery? What will I need to assist in my recovery, such as a wheelchair or crutches?
- An anesthesiologist will talk to you about anesthesia for your surgery.
- If your surgery is urgent, you may not have time to fast beforehand; make sure to tell your doctor and the anesthesiologist when you last ate and drank.
- If your surgery is scheduled, you may be asked to stop taking medications, such as aspirin, blood thinners, or antiplatelets.

Finding Rural Property
I am looking for a farm and wondered the best way to find one at a reasonable price. Real Estate Agent is out. Ideas?
1956 Farmall Cub,1952 Cub Hi Crop, 1959 Case 420b, 1960 Case 530ck Backhoe
There are three types of people was far a farming goes. Ones that want to buy one, those that want to sell one and big corporation farmers. I see you are near Buffalo. Just a bit east of you there is good flat farm land that is quite fertile and well drained. What type of farming are you interested in? Livestock or crop. Big or small livestock, chicken or cows, beef or milk. What experience or training do you have. What money and or other assets do you have. what machinery do you have, or access to. Will you use custom planting and harvesting, is it available in your intended area at a reasonable price and appropriate time? Will you be all alone, do you have family in farming and willing and able to help. There are a thousand questions to be solved first. Have you done your homework? Further why the bias against real estate agents? Their babies need shoes too. Oh yes What effect will lake effect snow storms have on a livestock operation if that is what you are looking at.
I have friends were hog farmers between Lake Seneca and Lake Cayuga. Two brothers each with their own farms. They each finished about 2000 hogs a year. Big for NY but small compared to other places. They had other family to depend on for immediate equipment replacement in case of breakdown (while being repaired). Guess what as the children grew up and to school, they went from string bales to wire bails, (more hay,fewer bales) to big square bales with a bailer that accumulates 20 of them at a time and stacks all 20 at once in the modified high clearance barn. The machine can take them 20 at a time and load on to a trailer for sale too. Oh by the way by planting corn and the hay they are now making more money now than on the hog operation with only 1 person running both farms. The one brother had a stroke and is incapacitated. Of course it in finance intensive. You could buy a farm for what that self propelled bailing machine cost.

Research. Local newspaper, free flyers in the grocery stores. Forclosed properties put up for public auction are listed in the official notice section of the county's official newspaper.
Real estate agents. Yup real estate agents. Locally, every Monday the agents print out a sheet listing all of the local properties for sale.
Notify your local banks that you are looking for a farm.
Put an ad in the newspaper.
Web search. Quite a number of real estate agents have their properties listed.
Reasonable price. Farm land has doubled and tripled in price in the past few years. This may not be a good time to buy farm land if you actually intend to farm. My guess is that in a few more years, after ethanol craze has died down, farm land may be a bit more reasonable.
I have an excuse. CRS.

couldn't put it any better myself. Equipment cost more then the property even buying used. Pick what you want and work towards it. I have changed farming operations 3 times in 7 years. To retool is expensive.
make 1 decision and standby and change accordingly. Research and research well.
Best of Luck
Here in Ma. a lot of the farmers are renting out thier land to a few of the bigger guys. My wifes uncle went from milking 80 plus, to raising a couple dozen replacement hefers and selling hay. He also took a job at the local feed store. Said he wishes he had done it years earlier. His farm is about 250 acres. I admire your ambition, I have about 20 acres and my dream is to do some small scale farming when I retire.

Part of life is falling down, living is getting back up.
I was thinking that it is a shame you didn't ask a few days earlier. If you had I would have commended the "2008 New York Farm Show at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse NY" It is a three day show but unfortunately it started yesterday and tomorrow is the last day.
Another good source of farm related information is "American Agriculturist" magazine. They have a great article on experiments varying inputs on corn and the effect it had on yields. Similar fields on the same farm with changes in nitrogen and in some cases varied from a high of 234 bushels an acre to as low as 84 bushels an acre. The experiments were carried out in Edinburgh in south central Indiana on . Plot soils are 1.5 to 2%organic matterloams over gravel at 30 t0 36 inches. It was a bad year for yield for they only had 5.75 inches of rainfall in 28 events from planting[May 1 } through September. There were 41 days of 90-degree days or over. In some test fields more nitrogen lowered the yeild even with irrigation.
Their was other articles about weed control.
I recommend you spend the time at the Ag college or the 2 year college at Delhi NY. The other alternative is to get a rich farmers daughter as a girl friend and future wife. Be good to mommy ond daddy so that you not only get the farm eventually but can be taught hoe to run it at a profit. Substance farming sucks at it's best. Make sure the daughter isn't too good looking for then she may have dreams of Hollywood and you will not get the farm. In my case it would be so she doesn't get tired of me and go for better. Of course you don't want a girl such you have to grit your teeth every time you sit at table with her.
All kidding aside, the more you know, the more you grow on a given plot of land. Much of NY is clay soils and in some cases very thin. Especially in the mountains. Farm prices have trippled in the past ten years and with this ethanol fever this may not be a good time to buy

Thank you for your input. I grew up working on farms, dairy, beef, grain. My wife has worked on a farm for the last 5 years. I have been a beekeeper for over 20 years. We want a place for organic farming to raise a few chickens, cattle, hogs, grow animal feed, vegtables and for the bees. No bias against real estate agents. The best prices for farms and land are not usually with real estate agents.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins agreed to terms on Minor League deals with right-handed reliever Tim Wood and catcher Eric Fryer, the club announced Saturday. The deals include invitations to Major League Spring Training.
Wood, 29, posted a 2.19 ERA with 21 saves in 54 appearances at Triple-A Indianapolis while in the Pirates organization last season. He struck out 67 and walked 23 in 70 innings, while being honored by Baseball America as the best reliever in the International League for a second straight year.
"My agent [Jonathan Maurer] and I had a game plan going in that we wanted the best opportunity for me," said Wood, who was courted by at least 10 other teams. "I didn't want to be that guy stuck in the Minors. I wanted an ample opportunity to make the team, and Minnesota offered that opportunity."
The 6-foot right-hander last appeared in the Majors in 2011, when he had a 5.63 ERA in eight innings with the Pirates. He also had 23 saves and a 2.84 ERA in 40 appearances at Indianapolis that season.
Wood said he's looking forward to competing for a spot in the bullpen in Spring Training, as he's hoping to crack an Opening Day roster for the first time since he did it with the Marlins in '10.
"That's the goal going into camp," Wood said. "I've been at Triple-A the past two years and have done pretty well, so I feel like if I get the opportunity I can go out there and get Major League hitters out."
Wood has a career 4.50 ERA in 57 big league appearances. His best season came in 2009 with the Marlins, when he had a 2.82 ERA in 22 1/3 innings.
Wood is mostly a fastball/slider pitcher, with his fastball coming in at 94-98 mph and his slider at 89-91 mph.
He was originally drafted by the Marlins in the 44th round of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft out of Pima Community College in his hometown of Tucson, Ariz.
Fryer, meanwhile, played in six games with the Pirates last season, going 1-for-4 with a walk. He also hit .204/.257/.247 with no homers and 10 RBIs in 65 games at Triple-A Indianapolis.
Fryer, 27, is a career .273/.361/.409 hitter in the Minors, and was originally drafted by the Brewers in the 10th round of the 2007 Draft.
Fryer and Wood played together in Triple-A the last two seasons, and Wood pointed out Fryer adds some versatility because of his ability to play the outfield as well as catch.
"He's a guy you can trust behind the plate," Wood said. "He calls a good game and we've been on the same page for the last couple years. So it's nice to sign with the Twins and have a familiar face around, too."

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that attach to the bones of the shoulder joint, allowing the shoulder to move and keeping it stable.
Swimmer's shoulder; Pitcher's shoulder; Shoulder impingement syndrome; Tennis shoulder; Tendinitis - rotator cuff; Rotator cuff tendinitis; Shoulder overuse syndrome
The shoulder joint is a ball and socket type joint where the top part of the arm bone (humerus) forms a joint with the shoulder blade (scapula). The rotator cuff holds the head of the humerus into the scapula and controls movement of the shoulder joint.
The tendons of the rotator cuff pass underneath a bony area on their way to attaching the top part of the arm bone. When these tendons become inflamed, they can become more frayed over this area during shoulder movements. Sometimes, a bone spur may narrow the space even more.
This problem is called rotator cuff tendinitis, or impingement syndrome, and may be due to:
Poor posture over many years and the usual fraying of the tendons that occurs with age may also lead to rotator cuff tendinitis.
Rotator cuff tears may occur in two ways:
There are two types of rotator cuff tears:
Early on, pain occurs with overhead activities and lifting your arm to the side. Activities include brushing hair, reaching for objects on shelves, or playing an overhead sport.
At first, this pain may be mild and occur only with certain movements of the arm. Over time, pain may be present at rest or at night, especially when lying on the affected shoulder.
You may have weakness and loss of motion when raising the arm above your head. Your shoulder can feel stiff with lifting or movement. It may become more difficult to place the arm behind your back.
The pain with a sudden tear after a fall or injury is usually intense. Weakness of the shoulder and arm is often present, along with a snapping sensation of movement.
Symptoms of a chronic rotator cuff tear include a gradual worsening of pain, weakness, and stiffness or loss of motion. The exact point when a rotator cuff tear begins in someone with chronic shoulder tendinitis may or may not be noticed.
Most people with rotator cuff tendon tears have pain at night. Pain that is worse at night may wake you up. During the day, the pain is more tolerable and hurts with certain movements.
Over time, the symptoms become much worse and are not relieved by medicines, rest, or exercise.
A physical examination may reveal tenderness over the shoulder. Pain may occur when the shoulder is raised overhead. There is usually weakness of the shoulder when it is placed in certain positions.
X-rays of the shoulder may show a bone spur. They can be done in your doctor's office.
If your doctor feels you may have a rotator cuff tear, you may have one or more of the following tests:
Sometimes, a special imaging test called arthrography is needed to diagnose a rotator cuff tear. Your doctor will inject contrast material into your shoulder joint. Then an x-ray, CT scan, or MRI scan are used to take a picture of it. Contrast is usually used when your doctor suspects a small rotator cuff tear.
Treatment involves resting the shoulder and avoiding activities that cause pain. It may involve:
For more information about managing your symptoms at home and returning to sports or other activities, see Rotator cuff - self-care
You should start physical therapy to learn exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles of your rotator cuff.
If the pain persists, or if therapy is not possible because of severe pain, a steroid injection may reduce pain and swelling in the injured tendons to allow effective therapy.
With rest and exercise, symptoms often improve or go away. However, this may take weeks or months to occur.
Arthroscopic surgery
can remove inflamed tissue and part of the bone that lies over the rotator cuff. Removing the bone may relieve the pressure on the tendons.
Rest and exercise may help someone with a partial rotator cuff tear who does not normally place a lot of demand on the shoulder.
You may need surgery to repair the tendon
if the rotator cuff has had a complete tear, or if the symptoms persist despite conservative therapy. Most of the time, arthroscopic surgery can be used. Some large tears require open surgery to repair the torn tendon.
Many people recover full function after a combination of medications, physical therapy, and steroid injections after an episode of rotator cuff tendinitis. Some may need to change or reduce the amount of time they play certain sports to remain pain-free.
People with tears of their rotator cuff tend to do well, although their outcome is strongly dependent upon the size of the tear and how long the tear has been present, as well as their age and pre-injury level of function.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if persistent shoulder pain occurs. Also call if symptoms do not improve with treatment.
Avoid repetitive overhead movements. Develop shoulder strength in opposing muscle groups.

Loch Fyne bucks the trend among national chains by offering a food & wine experience well above its high-street station. Selections from its recent menus such as hake with samphire, smoked salmon 'sashimi-style' with wasabi & soy, or 'bradan rost' with couscous salad, mango & coriander are dishes you might expect in flash big-city eateries – not in simply attired, accessible town-centre restaurants where 'the food is reasonably priced & generously served'. This chain also caters for more traditional tastes, witness whitebait, mackerel pâté, fish & chips or fisherman's pie alongside the group's raison d'être – sustainably sourced oysters, mussels & langoustines from Loch Fyne itself. Most of the globetrotting wine list is available by the glass, with credible, fish-friendly pours including Albariño & Grüner Veltliner.

SUNBURY, Pa. — A diminutive teenage mother charged with the stabbing death of a central Pennsylvania man she lured with an online companionship ad says she has been on a cross-country murder spree since she became involved with a satanic cult six years ago.
Miranda Barbour, 19, made the shocking admission to the Sunbury Daily Item during a recorded interview Friday in the library of the Northumberland County Prison where she is an inmate.
The soft-spoken, five-foot tall Barbour could not recall specifically how many murders she had committed, saying: "When I hit 22, I stopped counting."
She said some of the slayings occurred in Alaska, Texas, California and North Carolina and that she had no remorse because she killed only "bad people."
Barbour said she confessed to the murder spree because "it is time for me to be honest and I feel I need to be honest." She said she is willing to work with authorities "to pinpoint … on a map" where the murders occurred.
Sunbury police said they are working with authorities from several states and the FBI regarding Barbour's possible involvement with unsolved murders elsewhere. The investigation includes looking into the death of a man with whom Barbour had a 1-year-old child.
"From information we gathered, we are seriously concerned and have been in contact with proper authorities," said Sunbury Police Chief Steve Mazzeo.
Barbour and her husband, Elytte Barbour, 22, are accused of killing Troy LaFerrara, 42, of Port Trevorton, Pa.. three months ago. Both are being held without bail.
LaFerrara's body, with 20 stab wounds, was found Nov. 12 in an alley in Sunbury. Police said he had responded to a Craig's List posting promising female companionship in exchange for money.
The murder occurred three weeks after the Barbours were married and had moved to the Sunbury area from North Carolina. Elytte Barbour told police at the time of the couple's arrest in early December that they had planned to kill someone to celebrate their marriage, and that his wife took him to a strip club afterwards as a birthday present.

Kidz Bop Kids Radio
Equally popular and controversial, Razor & Tie's Kidz Bop series of singalong collections debuted in 2001. Known for their "kid-friendly" versions of hit singles that are re-recorded by session musicians and singers and the Kidz Bop Kids, a chorus of child singers, the compilations became popular with families who wanted cleaned-up versions of contemporary songs: 2006's Kidz Bop, Vol. 9 debuted at number two in the Billboard Top 200 album chart, and at the time of the album's release, the collections had sold over seven million copies total. That year, the Kidz Bop Kids were named the number one children's music artist by Billboard for the fourth year in a row. However, many of the songs included on the albums dealt with mature themes and featured lyrics that, while not overtly explicit or vulgar, were still questionably suited for a very young audience. Along with the expected teen pop fare from Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Hilary Duff, and Kelly Clarkson, Kidz Bop included more left-of-center picks like Franz Ferdinand's "Do You Want To?" and Modest Mouse's "Float On" as the series evolved. Along with the regular Kidz Bop collections, which were released roughly twice a year, the franchise expanded to include DVDs and collections of oldies, Christmas songs, and Latin pop hits. Kidz Bop also developed ring tones, toys, and a clothing line over the next few years. The eleventh Kidz Bop Kids album, which featured a cover of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" as well as renditions of songs by Justin Timberlake and JoJo, emerged in 2007. Other releases in 2007 included Kidz Bop, Vol. 12 and Coolest Kidz Bop Christmas Ever. The series continued releasing albums every few months for the rest of the decade. By the time of 2011's Kidz Bop 20, the series emphasized the personalities of the Kidz Bop Kids, which included Steffan, Eva, Elijah, Hannah and Charisma. The success of subsequent volumes like Kidz Bop, Vol. 22 and Kidz Bop, Vol. 23 -- released in 2012 and 2013, respectively -- continued the project's winning streak, which included over 15 albums that debuted in the Billboard Top 10, one Platinum and nine Gold certifications. ~ Heather PharesPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.
